  – and –
• Sequenced after actions listed under Pre-F27 Transactions, if applicable.

The effective date of RC F27 must be Sept. 1, 2026. For mandatory, protected and optional fields on the F27 transaction, see SPRS Fiscal Year Rollover Records for All Employees (login required) in this FPP.

Step 3: Post-F27/Sept. 1 Maintenance

• Submit Sept. 1 maintenance, sequenced after the F27 transaction, including merits, promotions, demotions and agency reclassifications.
• If there is no RC F27 on file when maintenance is submitted (including terminations effective on or after Sept. 1, 2026), SPRS will reject the maintenance transaction.

Note: All jobs will be evaluated independently from any other job(s) held by the employee at the agency.

Step 4: Roll Report

After your agency has finalized the fiscal 2027 roll process, you may request the SPRS Post Roll Report listing all employees active on Aug. 31, 2026, who have not terminated on that date and for whom no RC F27 has been submitted to SPRS.
