ePAN

The Office of Human Resources has been working with IITS on rolling out the electronic PAN via OnBase Unity Client to the campus. After receiving training from an HR representative, users will be able to start submitting ePANs. Any questions related to the content of the ePAN should be directed to your HR Analyst. Please click Department Assignments to find out who your HR Analyst is. Any questions related to the functions of ePAN and/or OnBase should be directed to Chelsea Cross at ccross@csusm.edu or ext. 4439.

*For student background checks, please contact Chelsea Cross, and indicate in the ePAN "Comment Box" that your student needs a background check.*

ePAN Position Number List - As a submitter of ePANs, you will need to know the 8-digit position number associated with the ePAN you are creating. An easy way to obtain this information is by going through the following steps:

  • Enter a Run Control ID if prompted. If you do not know one, click the "Search" button to see if you have any preexisting Run Control IDs. If nothing shows up, you will need to create a new Run Control ID by clicking on the "Add A New Value" tab.
  • Enter the Department ID
  • Enter the effective date of the information you will want to see (we recommend you use the current day you are accessing this information)
  • Example: Today is October 15, 2019. Enter "1234" for the Department ID, and use "October 15, 2019" as the effective date.
  • To run the report, click "Run" then "Okay" and then "Process Monitor"
  • Click the "Refresh" button until the "Run Status" column says "Success", and the "Distribution Status" column says "Posted"
