New Benefit Cost Transfer Tool Coming in October The newly redesigned Benefit Cost Transfer (BCT) tool is launching on Thursday, October 2, 2025. Please approve or deny all pending BCT transactions by Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Features of the new BCT tool include:

  • BCTs will use the familiar Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) interface.
  • The new tool improves functionality to allow adjustments on a per-transaction basis.
  • You can filter transactions by chartfield elements, expense types, and deduction codes.
  • The new tool will optimize processing for faster transaction execution.
  • Paychecks prior to October 31, 2021, are not eligible for the new BCT tool. You will need to follow local processes (e.g., journal writebacks) to correct these transactions.

Action Items: Please approve or deny all pending BCT transactions by Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Final Direct Retro Deadlines Approaching The Direct Retro tool will be retired on October 1, 2025. Please be aware of the final Direct Retro deadlines for UC San Diego:
  • Thursday, September 11, 2025: BW/MO High-Risk for posting in September
  • Wednesday, September 16, 2025: BW/MO for Non-High-Risk for posting in September
Do not submit or approve any Direct Retro transactions between September 17 and September 30. Transactions entered during this period will be deleted by UCPath Center during the deprecation process. Beginning October 2, 2025, users will only be able to view previously processed Direct Retros in UCPath.

Freeze Periods for Academic Range Adjustments The following dates are freeze periods for academic range adjustments:
  • Professorial Titles: 09/08/25 – 09/12/25
  • Postdocs (PX): 09/15/25 – 09/19/25
  • Graduate Student Researchers (BR unit): 09/26/25 – 09/30/25

Do not make job updates to impacted employees during these periods. You may process hires, rehires, concurrent hires, terminations, and leaves during the freeze.

Increased Direct Deposit Validation Coming August 24th As a reminder, employees will now need to provide their active bank account number to view or update their self-service direct deposit information in UCPath. The system will allow up to three attempts to enter an active account number correctly. After the third unsuccessful attempt, employees will need to try again the next day. This added layer of security is critical in helping safeguard employee financial information. For additional information, please refer to the Update Direct Deposit Job Aid.
