Next Steps

Approved appointments will be sent to Payroll for processing.

Appointments that have been sent back to the College Analyst or Department User will need to be revised and re-sent for approval.

Each department/college may have a different business process, but generally you will need to notify the College Analyst or Department user (Originator) that there are TAE  appointments for them to revise.
