Pronouns
What pronouns should I use for my direct reports if I do not see pronouns listed next to the name?
- If you do not see pronouns listed for your direct reports it could be that they have not selected a value yet, or that they have selected “My pronouns are not listed” or “Decline to State.”
- It’s ok to ask your direct reports what pronouns they use.
- In the meantime, do not assume your direct report’s pronouns. Instead, use your direct report’s name when referring to your direct report. You can also look at other sources where pronouns may be listed, like in your direct report’s email signature.
Where can I see pronouns for my direct reports in UCPath?
When viewing employee information on the Manager Self-Service pages, your employees’ pronouns will be displayed in parentheses to the right of their name.
If your employee has not entered their pronouns, pronouns will not display. Please note, there are two pronoun options that do not display:
-
My pronouns are not listed
-
Decline to State
If you see no pronoun value displayed for one of your employees, it could be that they have not selected a value yet, or that they have selected one of the two above options.
Why is there no back button in UCPath? How do I go back if I need to fix/edit something I entered?
As of July 15th, when you next log in to UCPath, you will be prompted to confirm your gender identity and sexual orientation values and to select your pronouns. As you navigate through these three pages, you will find there is no option to return to a previous page. If you need to go back to a previous page, you have two options:
- Log out of UCPath, and log back in. You will be prompted to review these three pages from the start.
- Continue through all three pages and complete your selections. Once completed, you can then go back to the Self-Identification Details page and change your values. Please see “How do I update my pronouns in UCPath?” for more details.
What if I don’t see my pronouns listed in UCPath?
-
There is an option labeled ‘My pronouns are not listed’. Please note, that if you select this value, your pronouns will display as blank.
-
If you would like to request a new set of pronouns be added to the drop-down list, please contact GRLN@berkeley.edu
What if I want to update my pronouns in UCB systems?
Faculty and Staff:
UCPath is the main source of pronoun information for staff and faculty. These pronouns will be used in downstream systems, including the campus directory. Most UCB local systems will display pronouns as set in UCPath. If there is a discrepancy, contact the system administrator. To edit your campus directory display settings, log in to: https://bpr.calnet.berkeley.edu/account-manager/directoryUpdate
Student Employees:
Enter your pronouns in CalCentral, as these will take precedence over UCPath for downstream systems like the campus directory. To ensure consistency, we recommend entering the same pronouns in both CalCentral and UCPath.
How will pronouns be displayed in UCPath?
In the Employee Self-Service dashboard, your pronouns are shown in parentheses under your name in the top left corner. Note that Transactor or inquiry users in UCPath will see your pronouns when hovering over your name at the top of select UCPath pages.
