Updates, News, Requests, and Reminders
For unit HR practitioners.
Benefits forms upload: Benefits has a new upload page for submitting forms. It's intended to be an upgrade from emailing. Employees can use the page to submit PEBB, PERS, and other benefits forms. Find the upload at the link above or at hr.uoregon.edu/benefits.
PWADUCK is no more: Use duckid.uoregon.edu to request Duck ID usernames for new employees. Instructions are available in a Knowledge Base article.
Unpaid appointment review: Review unpaid appointments for needed renewals and terminations by June 30. Appointments with no end dates require no action for the appointment to continue. If an appointment does have an end date, submit an Unpaid Appointment Form to renew. Terminate unpaid appointments by submitting an Employee Separation Request form. See the HR Operations website.
New employee separation form: We have launched a new Employee Separation Request form (ESR) in DuckDocs. A self-paced training is available in MyTrack. Start usingthe ESR for employee/job separations, instead of a PRF or the forms.uoregon.edu separation form.
Team field in MyTrack: Users can now select their team on MyTrack PDs. The team controls PD visibility. If you have access to multiple teams, make sure you select the correct team when you create/edit PDs.
HR website work: We've been purging outdated content from the HR website. If you find something is missing, please email hrcommunications@uoregon.edu. Also, the HR site will migrate to a cloud-based server and a more current version of Drupal in the next several weeks, at which point you may notice some look and feel differences.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) updates: The U.S. Department of Labor has announced a final rule that increases the salary thresholds required to exempt many salaried employess from federal overtime pay requirements. Effective July 1, 2024, the threshold will increase to the equivalent of an annual salary of $43,888. On January 1, 2025, it will increase again to $58,656. University HR is working with area leaders to evaluate the impact of this change. More information will be coming.
