- Fluid Position Management
- Fluid Approvals
How will this impact me?
Current PayPath Process | Future Processes |
PayPath - Custom creation of Position, Job and Additional Pay PayPath is a custom module built for University of California.
|
Job Data Modernization (Manage Job Tile) ecause it’s hard to maintain a completely custom module as other parts of our system are updated and improved, the UCPath Center is adding the Manage Job tile functionality to UCPath for Locations to use.

Phase 2 PowerPoints and Recordings
Pilot Phase 1 - Manage Job Tile
Completed as of June 20, 2023
What will occur in Phase 1 of Replace PayPath?
What is changing?
- New Manage Job tile with improved Job Data display
- Transaction access will be available through a new location provisioned security role
- A selected list of Action and Reason codes will be available for Terminations, Pay Rate, and Earnings Distributon Changes
- Limitations:
- Transactions will have no systemic approval routing – changes will apply to the system as soon as they are saved
- No historical or retroactive transactions can be completed in the Manage Job tile. This will only apply to current and future dated transactions
What is staying the same?
- If you currently have access to PayPath pages today, continue to use PayPath and Smart HR Templates until pilot phase is complete.
- The existing (classic) Job Data page that is in the HR Tasks tile will still be available
Who will be impacted?
- All current PayPath transactors will be able to see the Manage Job tile as a view-only page
- Early adopters from Central Offices will be able to transact using the Manage Job tile functionality before all transactors can transact within the tile
- Local leadership will determine the right opportunity to release the Manage Job tile to all transactors
