Respond to a Transfer Request (NPRC Users)

Updated

When a federal employee transfers to a new agency, the Gaining agency requests the employee's folder from NPRC. HR professionals review the transfer request details and SF 127 form. After reviewing, they can deny or process transfer, depending on the information submitted by the Gaining agency.

 

When a federal employee begins working at a new agency, the Gaining agency will request the employee's folder from NPRC. NPRC users can access new incoming transfer requests from two locations:

  • The Task Summary on the Home page

  • The Active tab on the Task List

     

Navigate to the Task List

Clicking on a row from the Task Summary or the Task List will take you to the Request Details page. It is organized in a way to provide HR Professionals with the most important information they need to complete their work right upon viewing the request.

  • Request details: This section contains information about the employee to transfer
  • Activity: System generated messages on transfer progress and notes from the other HR Professional working on the request will appear here.
  • Right-hand column: This section contains time-based information and contact information about the Gaining agency and Losing agency HR specialists working on the request.
