A public query (00-UpdateIncumbent) is available to assist agencies. This query identifies any employee whose Job Data panels were automatically updated on the Action Date selected and displays the following fields:

Identify and Correct Discrepancies
1) Using the 00-UpdateIncumbent query, review the employee's Job Data panels to determine if the updated field(s) is accurate.

2) If any of the following fields are incorrect, review the NYSTEP record. If NYSTEP is incorrect, contact your NYSTEP Status Examiner. DCS will send the updated information to OSC and the Position Data and the incumbents Job Data records will be updated accordingly:

3) If NYSTEP is correct and PaySR is incorrect for the fields above and/or for the following fields, complete the Position Data Request form and fax it to OSC:

Pay Basis Code

Position Fields Correct, Employee Job Record Incorrect
When the position fields are correct in NYSTEP/PaySR for the position but not for the employee in the position, the employee must be moved to an active position where the position fields are correct for the employee or, if applicable, to an assigned NYS Position Number.

Example - On 9/1 an employee is in an Accountant position. The position is automatically reclassified to a Head Accountant on 10/1. The employee is not qualified, therefore the agency must request a position change in the Job Action Request panel to move the employee to an active Accountant position or to a NYS position, for the Accountant title, effective 10/1.

Changes Impacting Employees Salary 
If a field (e.g. Bargaining Unit, Grade) has changed that impacts an employee's salary, a Pay Rate Change is required on the Job Action Request panel.

NOTE: Line Number changes, Position Pool ID changes, and changing the Employee Type from hourly to exceptional hourly, or vice versa, is to be done by the agency on the Position Data panels.
