Reminders

 

Did You Know?

  • UCPath System Downtime: June Release
    • The UCPath system will be unavailable from Friday, June 16 @ 3:00 pm – Monday, June 19 @ 9:00 pm to implement the changes for the June Release projects (Lived Name, Manage Job tile, Annual UCPath Upgrade). During the scheduled downtime, employees, managers, and transactors will not have access to the system. Please plan for this downtime and complete necessary UCPath activities prior to the outage.
    • Note: Dates and times listed below are subject to change.
    • Pre-Cutover Cutover Post-Cutover
      Ensure that all local transactions are approved. The goal is to have 0 transactions requiring approval by 06/12/23. The UCPath system will be unavailable from 06/16/23 @ 3:00 pm – 06/19/23 @ 9:00 pm. All transactors will need to have a plan to manually keep a record of all data entered in UCPath from 06/01/23 – 06/12/23.
  • Reminder: Improve Time Collection is Live
    • As of May 8, 2023, the Improve Time Collection project is now live. Employees may observe rounding differences in pay issued starting May 24, 2023, and in all future pay.
      • UCPath will now calculate time on a weekly basis instead of a daily basis, which may result in slight rounding differences on some employee paychecks to better align with best practices established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This will not result in other changes to the pay advice statement or paystub.
      • The Review Paycheck Summary page will also no longer display the employee's time by day. Each pay period will be displayed on a separate row that will include the pay period begin and end dates, total earnings, and hours.
    • A new, view-only Timesheet page will be available for those with the ability to approve time files or have access to the PREPSHUP Review pages.
    • Read the full announcement here.

  • Job Record End Date Monitoring
    • There are more than 81,200 employee records and over 2,700 contingent worker (CWR) records with an "Expected Job End Date" of June 30, 2023. Upon reaching the "Expected Job End Date," UCPath will terminate all employees with expired jobs for which the "End Job Automatically" box is selected.
    • To avoid unintended impacts, run the Jobs with Approaching End Dates report, review records, and extend, check the end job automatically box, or terminate records as appropriate.

  • Retirement is Just Around the Corner!

UCPath: Back to Basics

A final pay transaction needs to be entered in the system for the following scenarios:

  1. Involuntary Terminations (except reason: Appointment Expired)
  2. Employee is represented (except if contract does not require off cycle final pay)
  3. Employee has accruals to be paid out
  4. Employee is unable to report all hours worked/leave used in timekeeping system

If none of the scenarios above apply, then you do not need to enter a final pay transaction, the employee’s final pay will be issued on their last on cycle paycheck.

Reminder: An employee must be on active payroll status for paychecks to be issued in the system. If an employee is on an unpaid leave or short work break they must be returned from leave/SWB with an Effective Date that is equal to the Effective Date of the Termination template.

For step by step instructions on how to submit a final pay request refer to these Job Aids:
