Canceling a TAE appointment
This article covers how authorized users can cancel a TAE appointment that has already been submitted for approval.
This process can be used when the appointment should be canceled for the whole term. If you are looking to end an appointment sooner than their end date, please submit a Notice of Separation.

1. Log in to the campus portal and click on Human Resource in the Titan Online widget.
Has Payroll processed the appointment?
The steps to cancel an appointment are different depending on whether the appointment has been processed by Payroll and the job record has been created.
If the appointment has been processed by Payroll, the Originator can use the CSU TAE Appointment Data Entry screen to create a revised appointment marked as Canceled for the employee and send it through the approval workflow.
1.1. Use the Nav Bar to access the Menu and select CSU Temp Academic Employment. Then select CSU TAE Appointment Entry.

- Click on the NavBar.
- Select Menu.

1.2. Enter search criteria to look up one or more employees. You can enter multiple fields to narrow down your search results. Then click Search.
You must enter FLCMP as the Business Unit and select an EE Group.
Typically revisions are made for a specific employee, so you may want to search by Empl ID as well as EE Group so you jump right to that employee's information for that specific appointment type.
-
REQUIRED: Enter FLCMP as the Business Unit.
AND - REQUIRED: Select the EE Group.
- Optional: Enter the Empl ID (CHRS ID) of the specific employee whose appointment you want to revise.
- Optional: Enter a specific Dept ID to see only appointments in that department. If you leave this field blank, you will see employees in all department IDs that you have access to view.
- Optional: Select a specific Term to view existing appointments for the selected term.
- Optional: Select a specific Job Code to view only appointments with that job code.
- Optional: Adjust the Lookback Dt if you are not able to find the faculty in the search results. The default date for this field is 18 months ago.
- Click Search when you have entered all of your criteria.
1.3. The employee's current appointment row will appear. Select Canceled in the Other Action menu.
Does the employee not show up? Double check where their previous appointment is in the approval workflow. It's possible the appointment was not processed by Payroll yet.
1.4. Place a checkmark in the Ready? column.
- Full term dates will appear.
- Place a checkmark in the Ready? column.
1.6. You will see a window indicating if there are any rows with errors and how many rows were successfully submitted without errors. Click OK.

Each department/college may have a different business process, but generally you will need to notify your department/college HR analyst that there are TAE appointments for them to review.
Since the appointment was previously processed by Payroll, the canceled appointment will also need to be processed by Payroll.
View TAE EE Groups and Workflows to see which users/groups are part of the approval workflow for each EE Group.
Is the appointment waiting for Payroll to process it?
The appointment will need to be pushed back to the Appt Data Entry user by Payroll so the appointment can be marked as canceled and re-submitted for approval.
Currently Payroll is still developing the business process for notifying them that an appointment in their queue needs to be pushed back. It is likely that the Reviewer (College Analyst) will be the one to contact Payroll, so consult with your college for assistance.
