Preferred Name Added to Forms
There has been a change to the Appointment Form (PER-38)
and Change or Separation
Form (PER-39) for classified and unclassified employees. The Division of Human Resources has added the
field “Preferred Name” to these two forms.
This field gives the employee the opportunity of using a different first
name for the Campus Phone Book and on-line White Pages.
When processing transactions, the name that is entered into
HRIS must match the name that is on the social security card for paycheck and
W-2 purposes. The “Preferred Name” gives
the employee the option of adding a common name other than the name on the
social security card. An example would
be if an employee would prefer to use the name Bob instead of Robert or Chris
instead of Christina. Another example
would be an employee who goes by his or her middle name instead of first name;
such as if an employee’s given name was Donald James, but the person commonly
is referred to as James or Jim.
The “Preferred Name” provides easier identification for
individuals looking in the Campus Phone Book or on-line White Pages. The name on the paycheck and W-2 will remain
the same as the name that is entered from the social security card.
