Last Updated: 07/10/2024

Employee Packet Checklist (xlsx)
Please remember to have new employees go through the New Employee Orientation to familiarize themselves with the insurance, benefits, and other forms that need to be submitted.
When looking at the packets it is important to distinguish the following things:
- Appointment means that they are either new or returning to State of Alaska employment (this means they do not currently work in Legislative, Courts, or the Executive Branch).
- Separation means that the currently employee is leaving state service entirely and not moving to another branch (Governor's Office, Courts, Legislative) or another department within the Executive Branch (02-26).
- Transfer means the employee is moving between positions somewhere within the State of Alaska this could mean to a position in another branch (Governor's Office, Courts, Legislative) or a department within the Executive Branch (02-26) (this includes movement within the same department).
Marine unit employees have additional required paperwork based on their union and will need to work with their supervisor to submit all appropriate paperwork.
IMPORTANT: Forms should not be printed out far in advance of the employee's start date due to updates that frequently occur. It is recommended that new employees read the information on the New Employee Orientation web page while completing their new hire packet.
Family Leave webpage provides information about FMLA / AFLA as well as the appropriate form packets.
Requirement Status Explanation
- RP = Required for Pay (these forms are required to be submitted within 5 calendar days of effective date in order to process pay for the employee)
- R = Required (these forms are required to be submitted within 30 days to finalize the payroll action for the employee)
- IA = If Applicable (these forms may be required in specific circumstances)
- ER = Employee Responsibility (these forms are the employee's responsibility to submit directly to the appropriate agency)
- O = Optional (these forms are optional to submit)
Please note that some documents have multiple requirements, for example RP / IA means that it is required for pay if applicable, or ER / O means that it is the employee responsibility, but it is an optional form.
Incomplete or Late Paperwork
Please note that all Required for Pay (RP) documents are due within 5 calendar days of the effective date for the employee to get paid in the regular payroll processing. If any RP documents are missing or they are received after the 5 calendar days, the employee will get paid via a supplemental warrant, which gets processed separate from regular payroll processing.
