PRF Routing and Advance Notification

Route PRF for signatures

               After departmental/Dean's Office signatures, please route paperwork to the HR Office.

Send an e-mail to payroll at payroll@uoregon.edu for early notification of a separation or retirement to ensure appropriate benefit coverage, and accurate final pay which may include remaining vacation and compensatory leave payout 

Leave Reporting:

Final paycheck issued as part of the regular payroll:

The final month of time entry must include two months of leave reporting for salaried employees or half a month (approximately) for hourly employees.

Check with employees early on for their proposed vacation leave to be taken in the final month of employment.

Vacation balances must be manually adjusted in the final month to avoid docked pay.  Coordination with the Payroll Office is essential. The Payroll Office can assist with projecting vacation leave accruals and final vacation payout balances.

Department enters hours to be paid out in PHAHOUR during the time entry window using the following earn codes:

LPV for vacation payout (max of 180 hours for faculty/OA vacation payouts)

LPC for compensatory time payout

It is good customer service to have all of the vacation and compensatory payments processed on the final check, and this can only be accomplished with early discussions and planning with your employee.
