As of today, Monday, May 6, 2024, UCPath Center has changed the "Submit an Inquiry" process to make it easier and speed issue resolution. Employees will no longer be required to manually select a topic and category when submitting an inquiry via Ask UCPath.
What's changed?
In this Issue
On March 11th UCPath will update how employees submit cases. The new upgrade will simplify the case submission form by increasing the accuracy of how a case is auto-routed.
Current State
** UC Berkeley is continuing to pilot this functionality at this time**
UCPath identified an issue affecting the display of year-to-date (YTD) balances on employee pay statements for the biweekly pay period ending January 6, 2024.
Impact
Employees may notice negative YTD earnings totals on their pay statements. This issue is limited to the display of information and does not affect actual earnings or hours worked.
Due to recent phishing attempts, UCPath is introducing a new security measure to enhance the protection of employee information.
UCPath will send email notifications to employees whose direct deposit information has been updated as a proactive measure to safeguard employee data.
Email Content Overview
The email will confirm their recent direct deposit changes and provide contact instructions if the employee did not authorize the change.
Action Required
We wanted to inform you that there have been delays in the updates of Lived Names from UCPath to Berkeley over the weekend. As a result, it may take a few days for your name data from UCPath to be displayed accurately in the campus directory or in campus applications like bMail.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Our teams are working closely with UCPath Center to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
Please review the resources below for clarity on the UCPath Upgrades going into effect on June 20.
