FOA HR Supervisor Resources

Welcome to the FOA HR Supervisor/Manager Resources Page - your one-stop hub for key reminders, announcements, and tools to support your team. 

Announcements
  • STAR Process: FOA HR has deployed a new STAR process. For more information, review the STAR Award page.
  • Vacancy Request Form: This is a friendly reminder regarding the Workforce Management Program (WMP) process. Please follow the steps outlined below when initiating staffing actions for recruitments, extensions, and retiree rehires:
    • Submit a Vacancy Request Form (VRF) - the request will be reviewed and must be approved by the applicable Associate Vice Chancellor (AVC) and the Vice Chancellor’s Office.
    • If approved, the request will be routed to the University Hiring Committee. Our FOA HR team will handle this submission on your behalf.
    • Upon approval by the Hiring Committee, our FOA HR team will notify the submitter and applicable AVC so that you may proceed with submitting a Personnel Action Form (PAF). We would advise not creating a PAF until approval from Hiring Committee is received. 
  • Mandatory Training Compliance Program: UC Davis has launched the Mandatory Employee Training Compliance Program, requiring all employees to complete assigned training modules in the UC Learning Center by their individual deadlines.
    • Beginning July 1, 2026, UC Davis will enforce completion of the UC Cyber Security Awareness Fundamentals training course. Any faculty, academic appointees, graduate student employees, or postdoctoral scholars who have not completed this module by their individual deadline will temporarily lose access to certain core campus digital services until training is completed and verified. 
    • Extension Request (FOA): While there are no exceptions to the training requirement itself, FOA staff with exigent circumstances, such as sabbatical, approved leave, or other special situations, may request a one-time 7-day extension to temporarily restore access. 
      • To request this, please submit a request via the FOA Training Extension Request smartsheet. This will route to the applicable AVC and FOA HR for review/approval.
