Depending on the type of change, there are different things you’ll have to keep in mind when employees move from one employee class (E-class) to another. Regardless of the type of change, they must occur at the beginning of a pay period. 

Temporary to Regular

Follow these steps when a temporary employee, including adjuncts and students, moves into a regular, benefited position:

• Submit a stop job for the temporary position if it is not already ended
• Upload a resignation letter (if applicable) through

Regular to Temporary

When a regular employee moves into a temporary position, they must be entered through Termination Workflow. This process will ensure that their leave balances are adjusted, their benefits end, and that they are offered COBRA continuation options. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:

• Enter the termination in Banner on
• Upload a resignation letter through
• Submit the temporary job

The temporary job will not be able to be set up until the benefited position completely processes through termination workflow, which cannot occur until after that pay cycle is finalized. Payroll finalizes one week after the end of the pay period, and it can take up to 5 days to finish the termination after that point. A paper timesheet may be required for the first pay period in the temporary position. Be sure to watch your email; you will be notified as soon as the new position is entered.

Examples of documentation include resignation letters or emails; or notice of non-renewal.
