HR LOB Entrance On Duty

Leveraging the HR LOB Business Reference Model (BRM), Entrance on Duty (EOD) falls within the BRM sub-function “Staff Acquisition” and includes bringing on new hires and transferring Federal employees. EOD is part of the larger process of on-boarding. An improved EOD process will have a positive impact on the on-boarding process through the elimination of redundant data entry, reduced administrative burden, and an enhanced experience for the prospective employee.

The Entrance on Duty Concept of Operations Report (EOD CONOPS), developed in January 2007, provides results of a cross-agency collaboration which describes a business capability that will leverage technology to bring efficiencies to this process; the implementation of such a capability will result in a return on investment that reflects both human capital and financial benefits.

EOD, for the purposes of this report, specifically refers to the automated collection and distribution of initial employment and work information for Federal employees and contractors. It includes notifications to relevant Federal staff, the exchange of data between pre-employment certification providers, and communication around provisioning. The EOD process described in this report begins with the employee's acceptance of the tentative offer and extends through the completion of data collection activities associated with the transfer of employee data to primary data sources, such as Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) and electronic Official Personnel Folders (eOPFs).
