How do I set up an employee change request? (Connect Online)

You can use an employee change request to update the employee's position type, hourly rate, and annual wage. What you can or cannot update will depend on how HR has set up the employee change request form.

Before you get started

• Add the Manager Requests widget to My Dashboard. See the help topic titled How do I add the Manager Requests widget? 
• Set up an employee change request. See the help topic titled How do I create an employee change request? 

Submitting an employee change request

1. Open My Dashboard.

2. Find the Manager Requests widget and then click Manager Requests.

The Manager Requests page displays.

3. Select an Employee Change Request.

Only the requests for the employee change type will be displayed in the drop-down list. To add an employee change request to the drop-down list, see the help topic titled How Do I Create an Employee Change Request?

4. Select an Employee.

The Employee list will display the employees who are assigned to the department being managed by you.

5. Fill in the Employee Change Request form.

The pane on the right displays the details for the employee's current position. The form on the left shows the employee change request form that is set up in Human Resources (Human Resources > Organization > Requests).

Note: The employee change request form will display the form that your organization has created. The employee change request form shown below is just one example.

5. Click Submit.

Why can't I click the Submit button? If the change request form has required fields, all of the required fields must be filled in before you can click the Submit button.  

The employee change request is submitted to the employee change request approval process. The approver is notified that there's an employee change request waiting for them.

If an approval process is not assigned to the employee change request, the change request status is approved and you will receive a notification for the approved employee change request.

Troubleshooting

Why can't I submit a manager request?

Start by checking to see if these items are set up correctly. Does the user have access to the Manager Rights page in Connect Online? Is the user set up as a requester for at least one employee change request? Refer to the steps (above) to make sure the request settings are correct. 

You may need the assistance of the Connect Online Administrator to perform these tasks.
