II. Staff Domain

Second Level Submission

This section provides you with a clear view of all the Business fields included in the Staff Domain for Fall PEIMS reporting. The information is organized by where it exists in the system (application, menu, page, and tab). This will help you easily locate and correct data as needed. You can also generate user-created reports to assist you in verifying data.

1. Personnel

   Personnel

   Personnel > Maintenance > Staff Demo > Demographic Information

   

   • Staff ID/SSN
   • Texas Unique Staff ID

Type the nine-digit ID (six-digit district ID + three-digit campus ID) to identify the LEA (district and campus) where the SSA/Co-op employees has work assignment records if other than their home district/campus.

2. Payroll

   • Total - Note: For Pay Type 3 (hourly employees), enter an estimate of the annual salary.
   • Begin Date and End Date
   • # of Days Empld
   • (If applicable) Exclude Days for TEA - If an employee has multiple jobs listed on this page, the system automatically calculates the total number of days worked across all jobs. For example, if a teacher works 187 days and has a secondary job as a bus driver for 180 days, by default, the system adds all days for a total of 367 days. This does not accurately reflect the actual number of days worked since the employee does not actually work 367 days. To ensure accurate reporting, it is recommended to only report the job with the highest number of days. For jobs with fewer days, select Exclude Days for TEA to prevent those days from being included in the total.
