Former Employees

Former employees can access their UC employment information after they have separated from UC by logging in to the UCPath(link is external) via a Former Employee account. Additional information is also available on UCNet(link is external). 

Within 48 hours of an employee's status changing from Active to Inactive, UCPath will create a Former Employee Account and send a welcome email/ invitation to the separating employee. This email is sent to the "preferred" personal email in UCPath or the first populated personal email. If no email address was provided, the former employee must contact UCPath to provide an email address to access their Former Employee Account.

Things to Remember: 

  • The Former Employee Portal is available to the employee for three years after they separate from the UC
  • The Former Employee Portal provides access to: 
  1. Personal Information Summary
  2. History of earnings statements and; 
  3. W-2 history

If this is the case, you will need to contact UCPath Center for assistance. If you are not able to get through by phone, you can email the UCPath Center at ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu(link sends e-mail), which will create a case in the system.
