You can process an Award action for those ex-employees who earned an award for services performed prior to their separation date.

Use the RPA window.

   To process an award:

1. Initiate an Award/One Time Payment RPA.

2. Date track to a date equal to or earlier than the ex-employee's date of separation.

   You can only process RPA actions for active employes, so to locate the employee record, you must date track the RPA to the separation date or an earlier date.

3. In the Last Name field, enter the ex-employee's name.

4. An effective date equal to or earlier than the ex-employee's date of separation.

5. Continue to complete the RPA, entering the NOAC, Legal Authority on the Requesting Info region.

   See: Processing a Request for Personnel Action

6. Choose the Positions Data tab to display that region, and click the Award field to open the Award dialog box.

   See: Entering Other Pay and Awards

7. Enter a dollar amount or a percentage.

   Note: When you enter the data, make sure that your Unit of Measure (UM) is M.

8. Save your work.

9. Choose the Extra Information button to display the Extra PA Information Request window.

10. Select the US Fed Award and Bonus Information. Click in the Details field to display the segments.

11. Enter the appropriate data for the segments.

    Note: The date for the Date Ex-Employee Award Paid must be equal to or greater than the ex-employee's separation date.

12. Save your work and continue to process the RPA as you would normally, obtaining approvals and updating the completed RPA to the HR database.

Printing the NPA

When you print the NPA, the application uses the date you entered in the Date Ex-Employee Award Paid field for the printed NPA's effective date. If you did not enter a value for this field, the application uses the RPA's effective date for the printed NPA.
