E&I Procedures Job Aid
Note: Many of the business and HR procedures have undergone significant changes since the production of this guide. And there have been staffing changes among the approvers for many programs. However, it is still a useful job aid that covers interfacing with BRS in the areas of B&FS, HR, and IT. (Tip: print double-sided on 11x17" paper.)
