AH - Employee Type Change

Purpose: This action is used to change an employee's appointment code combination.  Classified employees with appointment code combinations 'CBX, 'CPX', 'CTX', 'CVX, or 'CXX' can be updated to regular appointment code combinations that begin with C (classified).  This change reason cannot be used to change classified employees to limited service appointment code combinations.  Non-classified employees may only use appointment code combinations that begin with N (non-classified).  This can also be used to correct an existing leave code that does not match an appointment code combination for a non-classified employee. 

 
 Note: The AH change reason can be entered by agencies if the employee is changing their appointment code from classified to classified, or non-classified to non-classified.  However, if the employee's appointmnet code is changing from non-classified to classified or vice versa, then the agency will need to submit a Personnel Remark to request that DSP add the AH change reason to the employee's profile. A Position Control action would need to be completed first in order to update the PCN Type, prior to the Personnel Remark being submitted.
The agency signer must approve the 'AH' (Employee Type Change) personnel change before it is routed to DSP (Division of Statewide Payroll) for processing.  Employees with appointment codes 'NGB', 'NGC', 'NGE', 'NGJ', 'NGL' and 'NGR', must be approved by the Governor's office before being routed to DSP for processing. 
 
  • Using an AH change reason will keep the employee in their current pcn.
  • If the employee is changing from a non-classified to a classified appointment code combination, the employee's pay schedule and pay rate must match the pay grade assigned to the employee's class code. (For more information, visit the IDHR Website).
  • If the employee's pay schedule, grade and step need to change, then a seperate Rate/Salary action must be completed after the AH change reason has posted.
  • If the employee's pay rate needs to change, then a separate Rate/Salary action must be entered. If the employee's FLSA Code needs to change, then a separate MW - Miscellaneous Personnel action must be completed.
