JED-I Master Training

Human Resources is excited to roll out JED-I Master Training, an in-depth understanding of how to process a JED. To become a JED-I Master, you must review the new JED-I Manual and complete a six course certificate program in ConnectingU. Download the new JED-I Manual for a complete guide to submitting accurate JEDs.

Required online courses:

JED Web Form Overview
JED Web Form – Hiring Non-Benefited Employees
JED Web Form – FMLA Leaves
JED Web Form – Updating Employee Pay
JED Web Form – Transfers, Promotions and Demotions
JED Web Forms – Employee Offboarding

HR will now require the JED-I Master Training for UD employees who are new to submitting JEDs. Giving the impact of the JED forms and to ensure they are submitted correctly, the training is also recommended for any current JED originators. We have also created 30 Job Aids for specific situations.

Please share this message with colleagues who work with JEDs. To enroll in the JED-I Master Training, follow the instructions on the certificate page in ConnectingU.
