Pre-starting non-paid scholars in PeopleSoft

  1. Load the Scholar into the Emory Pre-start System – After the IRF has been submitted, the departmental administrator should be in contact with the scholar and pre-start the scholar into the Emory HR system. You will need their full name, date of birth, hire date, and supervisor. For other fields, use the following table as a guide:

    Field
    Answer
    Social security number The system will auto-generate a dummy SSN; the number always leads in zeros and ends in four digits, i.e. 000-00-1234
    Person type NOC – Volunteer – No Pay
    Regular/temporary Temporary
    Benefits eligibility Ineligible
    Job code Enter appropriate job code. For example: Visiting scholar (9318)

    Visiting scholars may not be paid by Emory. If they are not, then there is no need to complete the I-9 verification.

  2. Enter an eHRAF to Load the Scholars into the HR System – Once the scholar has been pre-started, the departmental administrator should enter a new hire eHRAF via PeopleSoft. Use the following information as a guide:

    Answer
    Social security number Same SSN as dummy from Pre-Start
    Job code Enter appropriate job code. For example: Visiting scholar (9318)

  3. Facilitate Emory Email and Login – With the scholar now fully entered into the Emory HR system, the scholar should now be eligible for an email account and Emory login. It is the departmental administrator’s responsibility to confirm with the scholar that they have received their email account and Emory login.
