About Personnel Action Processing

Personnel action processing in PPS includes the Central Personnel Data File (CPDF) elements as well as non-CPDF elements for processing personnel actions in PPS. All types of personnel actions can be included in the FESI file except for the following:

Actions that include severance pay remarks code (N22) for entitlement to severance pay. The severance pay document is not part of the FESI file at this time.

Actions shown on IRIS Program 525 (i.e., History corrections/cancellations). EPIC/HCUP or EmpowHR must be used. If the last action on the database is being corrected or canceled, the action can be included in the FESI file. To become familiar with personnel action processing in PPS, Agencies can refer to EPIC/HCUP and EmpowHR documentation. Instructions for each data element can be found in the these procedures.

The personnel action record consists of a header record, the personnel action data record, and the remarks record. Remarks codes are included in the personnel action file; however, the fill-in-the-blank remarks literal, that is entered to complete the remarks description, is a separate record. Each remarks code, that requires a fill-in literal, must be included in both the remarks file and the personnel action file. See Personnel Action Remarks Record for more information.
