INTRODUCTION TO WORKFORCE ADMINISTRATION AND COMPENSATION

Please complete the Introduction to CBT and SHARP computer-based training (CBT) before starting Workforce Administration and Compensation. The information in Workforce Administration and Compensation assumes that you have taken the introduction training and does not discuss some of the basic functions that apply to all SHARP components.

The Introduction CBT will teach you how to navigate through the menus and pages and introduce you to the basics of adding, updating, and maintaining data in PeopleSoft.

For the most up to date information (including new or revised Regulations and Bulletins), please check the following websites: 
SHARP Customer Services (http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/) 
Division of Personnel Services (http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/) 
Accounts and Reports (http://www.da.ks.gov/ar/)

We will discuss basic procedures for entering information for employees at your agency, such as:
Hiring and Rehiring Employees
Promoting, Demoting, Transferring, and Terminating Employees
Changing an Employee’s Rate of Pay

There are several very important sources of reference as you enter data into SHARP.

Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.s): The regulations provide for fair and equitable treatment of the State of Kansas workforce. Many job data changes are based on the regulations and it is important that you are familiar with them. Current K.A.R.s are at http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/

Action Reason User Guide: SHARP uses Actions and Reasons to define data entry actions. Often the Actions and Reasons trigger data inserts into other SHARP pages and fields. Most of the Actions and Reasons are based on the regulations mentioned above. Please refer to the Action Reason User Guide at http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/ to help determine the appropriate Action and Reason to use for your data entry.
