How /where do I find someone’s pronouns in UCPath?
When viewing employee data on a transactional or inquiry page in UCPath, the employee’s name may be shown at the top of the page in bold text with a dotted underline. If so, hover your mouse over the name. A mouseover card will display showing employee information, including, if available, their pronoun.
If the employee has not entered their pronouns, this will display as blank. Please note, two pronoun options do not display:
- My pronouns are not listed
- Decline to State
Please note, that there are two types of pages in UCPath that will not show the employee’s pronoun information:
- If the page displays the employee’s legal name, instead of their lived name, at the top of the page, pronouns will not display in the mouseover card.
- If the employee’s name at the top of the page is not bold with a dotted underline, then no mouse-over card has been configured for this page. Pronoun information will not be available here. In this case, you should look up the employee on another page that does display pronouns (for example, Person Organizational Summary).
Do we need to/can we include pronouns on the hire template?
No. Employees are responsible for selecting their pronouns. They will be prompted to do so when they first sign into UCPath.
Why is it important to use someone’s identified pronouns?
Using someone's correct pronouns is an important way of affirming their identity.
