Short Term Assignment - Extend

Summary

This checklist provides information on how to extend a Short Term Assignment (STA) that was initiated after January 1, 2016.

The duration of an STA is more than 90 calendar days but less than 12 months. An extension of 12 months may be granted by the releasing manager or his/her designee. However, the maximum duration of an STA is 24 months.

Attention:

For an STA with different work locations (from HQ to CO, CO to CO, CO to HQ) initiated prior to January 1, 2016 and has not been transitioned to GMSF, the system will display an error message when the manager or designee tries to extend via myHR Self-Service.
Instruct your HR Business partner (HRBP) to email the GMSF Assignment Request template (access limited to HRBPs only) to HR Operations with a cc to Global Mobility, with the subject line "UPI ___, GMSF Assignment".
Once the STA is transitioned to GMSF STA, the manager or designee can extend the STA via myHR Self-Service following the actions below.

For details on policy, refer to paragraph 1.01 of Section I on Staff Rule 06.23. For important considerations relating to G4 visa holders, refer to Absence from the U.S.
