Banner HR Frequently Asked Questions
These questions were gathered during Banner HR training sessions.
| Overview FAQ | |
|---|---|
 Does employee self service mean that departments will not have to complete paperwork to change employee addresses -- the employee will? |
 That depends on the change, but UNCG will empower active employees so that they may make payroll address changes. |
| Can the time entry back-up be an employee from another small office? |
Yes, if your supervisor will authorize an employee from another office to be your time entry back-up -- that is permissible. But, do remember, if that employee leaves -- a new trained time entry back-up would be needed. |

No, we will have on line instructions for go live. |
| Will the person who keys time be able to see all fields? |
The person who keys time will only be able to see the fields needed to key time entry, but any fields that aren’t necessary for keying time entry. |
| Does your time entry back-up have to take all banner classes? |
Your back-up will only have to attend the sessions that they are a back-up for. Ex. Time entry back-up attends time entry sessions; query back-up attends query sessions. |
| On the current budget flexible, you have to scroll through the entire list to find what you need to approve, is this going to be the same in Banner? |
On the new approval budget flexes, you will only see what you are authorized to approve, not the entire list. |
