Employee Transfer (with or without pay)
Important Notes:
Always consult with HR before submitting an employee transfer to ensure it is the correct process to follow based on the scenario you’re working through. Email hrs@boisestate.edu with details so they can approve the transfer.
Employee transfers must have an effective date of the beginning of a pay period (Sunday). If a transfer is submitted with a mid pay period effective date, it will be rejected by HR. The final approval for the submitted action must be completed by the Thursday before payday in order for HR to process the request by the effective date.
Submitted transfers cannot be edited. If a transfer is submitted incorrectly, you will need to withdraw and submit a new one.
Step 1: Log in to Bronco Hub and Locate the Employee
Begin by signing in to Bronco Hub.
Locate the employee.
In Bronco Hub, employees can be located one of two ways:
Employee is your direct report:
Select My Team from the top navigation and then select Team Activity Center.
Direct reports will populate. Select the three dots (…) to the right of the employee name, select View More to display the full actions list. Locate and select Data Change by scrolling through the list or using the search bar at the top of the list.
Employee is not your direct report:
Select My Organization from the top navigation section of Bronco Hub and then select Show More located at the bottom of the left hand Quick Actions list. Select Data Change located in the Employment section (if needed, use CTRL+F to search for the option).
After selecting Data Change, use the search bar to search for the employee. Search by Employee name (last name first), Employee Email or Employee ID. Select the employee name from the drop-down.
Step 2: Select Info to Include
During the Info to Include step, the system will always display a Direct reports toggle option to add direct reports while completing the data change. The Existing reports toggle option will only display if an employee has existing direct reports.
If you are assigning the employee new direct reports while completing the data change, select the toggle for Direct Reports and the form will update to include a section to reassign existing reports to another manager. If you do not want to add new direct reports as part of the data change, leave the Direct reports default toggle setting.
If the employee has direct reports, an Existing reports toggle will display. If you are reassigning existing direct reports as part of the data change, select the Existing reports toggle and the form will update to include a section to reassign existing reports to another manager. If you do not want to reassign existing direct reports, leave the default setting.
Select Continue.

What’s next:
Submitted transfers cannot be edited. If a transfer request is submitted incorrectly, you will need to withdraw and submit a new one.
What options are there to follow up on the action after it’s submitted?
The action initiator (submitter) can follow up on (e.g. view approval information) the submitted action by locating it in the initiated tasks section of the Worklist.
Once submitted the data change request will route to the following:
The line manager (supervisor) of the employee being transacted upon.
The funding source manager(s) for the employee assignment home department/HR Department. Example, employee has a job in Athletics, the home department of the employee assignment is 97400
Graduate College if the transaction includes job codes: 49120, 49110, 49111, 49181, 49180
Human Resources
College / Division is the last approval
Provost if the person being transacted upon is faculty
If other individuals need to be included in the approval workflow (e.g. Principal Investigator for sponsored project funded transactions) the funding source manager must add the approvers as an AdHoc action.
Important Note: If the employee being transacted upon is not a faculty member, the name of the initiator will display as the last approver in the approval workflow. The initiator does not need to approve the transaction, Bronco Hub will automatically approve after all other approvals have been completed.
