Research Foundation Onboarding

• The Grants Officer (GO) - in this case Ms. Dawn Hewitt, at YC - must inform the RF of the people who would be responsible for processing I-9s at their campus or project(s).
• The first step in hiring a new employee is the I-9/e-verification process - which must be completed on or before the employee's first day of work. This process ensures the employee is legally eligible to work. The ORSP will directly reach out to the employee to complete this process.
  -The employee will receive an email from the RF CUNY HR Department with a link to the I-9 E-Verification Site Access - along with the company code and access code.
• Please visit the ORSP Hiring Personnel Page to learn more.
• The access is granted by the RF once the individuals responsible for the I-9 are trained.
• Individuals should utilize the RF I9 and E-Verify Process and Systems Training Video to understand the I-9 & E-Verify process and systems.

The Electronic Personnel Action Form (E-PAF) can be used by PIs or Grants Officers to modify or terminate an employee's appointment.

You can utilize the following resources to learn more about EPAFs.

• EPAF Training Video - Additions and Renewals
• EPAF Training Video - Modifications and Terminations
• E-PAF User Guide

Requests for access to web reports and E-Systems should be emailed to weblogonid@rfcuny.org and will be answered by Grants & Contracts system administrators.

You can utilize the RF Time and Leave (Payroll Administration) System to create, submit and approve employee timesheets, to manage timekeepers and groups, to view employee accrual details, and review timesheets and accruals reports.

For more information on time and leave please refer to the Time and Leave Payroll Training Video for PIs
