Manage Accruals
Manage Accrual transactions in UCPath allow transactors to enter hours and takes, and correct an employee’s accrual balances.
When submitting a Manage Accruals transaction in UCPath does a positive value increase or decrease the accruals banks?
It depends on the Manage Accrual Transaction type. Please review the Manage Accruals - Transaction Type Matrix for specifics.
Can I enter Catastrophic Sick leave?
The Benefits and Leave team handles all catastrophic leaves and can be reached at catleave@berkeley.edu
Review the Berkeley Catastrophic Leave policy for additional details regarding eligibility.
Can an employee exceed their Vacation Balance Maximum? And how is that done?
Yes, an employee can exceed the vacation balance maximum, but only for specific circumstances. Explore the Vacation Leave Maximum webpage for more information and be sure to refer to the employee’s specific staff or union policy.
Submitting the Request: The affected employee cannot submit this request themselves in UCPath. The employee should contact their HR Business Partner for the Primary Department that they work for to submit an ‘Exceed Vacation Request eForm’, found under the ‘Transactor Hub’ > ‘Accruals & Leaves Forms’ menu. Access to this form requires the submitting user to have the GT eForm role in UCPath.
Finding Employees Reaching Vacation Maximum: Managers are recommended to track direct reports who are reaching their vacation maximum and encourage them to take vacation.
- Managers can view their employees’ accruals in the ‘Manager Hub’ > ‘Manager Actions’ menu > ‘View Employee Absence Balance’ page.
- Additionally, an R-022 Cognos Report can be pulled for an employee list: explore How to find Employees Nearing Over-Max Vacation Accrual Using the R-022 Cognos Report for more information.
