New Position, Recruiting, and Hiring Tools:

The following changes in People Admin 7 will be effective Monday, November 9th.

• Changes to P&S, P&S Temp Emergency, and Faculty/Other Applicant workflow
• AFSCME-covered Temporary Merit classifications will be available for new postings
• At will indicator on the Action Justifications section of the Position Description will be a required field for Dept Chair/Director, Dean/AVP, and President/Senior VP user groups

Offers of employment for faculty and Professional & Scientific positions hired through PeopleAdmin 7.0 will be made electronically through AccessPlus. All of the routing and approvals will also happen electronically within AccessPlus. Please visit the "Tools & Resource" page for materials to aid in the creation and routing of eLOIs. If you have any questions, please feel free to email eLOI@iastate.edu or call 4-1600.

We are committed to providing a quality product that streamlines the LOI process. We will be making changes to the system in the coming weeks, with plans to re-launch eLOI as soon as is possible after the start of the calendar year. Until the system is re-launched, any hiring proposals should continue to be processed as usual through PA7 and paper LOIs should be initiated.

PeopleAdmin has notified us that the system issues reported this morning have been resolved. As always, if you receive errors, please report them to 4‑1600.

PeopleAdmin customers throughout the nation are currently experiencing a variety of system issues. Some internal users are unable to login (Net-ID and password). In addition, there are known issues when trying to update or change the state (move in workflow) of a posting. This issue is across all user groups. ISU has also reported experiencing issues when users attempt to edit a position description. Typically, the user gets a message that the action is locked for editing (by the same user that is attempting to edit).

If you experience system issues outside of a posting, please report these to the PeopleAdmin Hotline (4-1600). Please provide any screen shots of the errors so that we can better describe the system actions to the PA developers.

Currently, there are no reported issues (at ISU or nationwide) as it relates to applicant's ability to apply through the applicant portal.

We are continuing to monitor activity and calls. We are communicating the errors we receive with PeopleAdmin. We will provide you with an update once the system issues have been resolved. Please contact your applicable UHR C/C or Recruitment contact if you have an urgent issue that requires support.

Now that we are live with PeopleAdmin 7 (PA7), you may like to have a refresher course on the system or better understand what responsibilities you will have in PA7. Due to increased interest, additional PeopleAdmin7 system trainings have been added in the month of October. These classes will be co-taught by functional experts (UHR Recruitment and UHR Classification and Compensation) with Magann Orth. See the new available training opportunities.
