After OPM approves an alternative federal human resource system (AFHR), you can move employees affected by the change from their existing system to the new one. For example, you might move employees from a standard grade and step wage schedule to a system based on performance based schedules.

You identify the applicable personnel system in the position definition. The employee's assigned position then determines which business rules and calculations the application uses. To move employees from an existing system to a new system, complete the following steps.

1. Create a new position.

   You cannot convert existing positions to AFHR positions. You must create new positions and then move employees into them.

   See: Creating a Position

2. In the Position extra information, enter the Personnel System Indicator (PSI) in the US Federal Alt HR System flexfield.

   Note: You do not have to enter information for standard positions. A PSI of null or 00 identifies the position as standard.

   See: Creating a Position

3. Process and update an RPA to move the employee to the new position.

   You can process a NOA 890 Miscellaneous Pay Adjustment to move employees to their new AFHR positions.
