** UC Berkeley is continuing to pilot this functionality at this time**
Dear PayPath and HR Templates users,
We are writing to inform you about a significant enhancement coming to UCPath Job Data management—introducing the 'Manage Job' functionality, slated to replace the current PayPath and select Smart HR Templates pages.
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
There are now only two weeks left before all General Ledger pages in UCPath are taken down for a week as a part of cut over activities for the new Salary Cost Transfer pages. With that in mind, this communication highlights:
Required training for all existing Direct Retro transactors
The timeline for implementation, including deadlines to submit and approve Funding Entry and Direct Retro transaction
We are now one month away from the start of cutover activities for the new Salary Cost Transfer pages. In this communication, we highlight:
Required training for all existing Direct Retro transactors
Implementation dates, during which all GL pages in UCPath will be unavailable*
*This includes Funding Entry, Funding Upload, Direct Retro, Benefits Cost Transfers, and Budget Entry
Beginning on October 31, 2023, the UCB UCPath Operations Team will be offering ten training sessions to get existing users familiar with the new Salary Cost Transfer pages:
As we inch closer to the November release of the new Salary Cost Transfer pages, we would like to highlight:
New search functionality that will be available with the Salary Cost Transfer pages
Training requirements and dates for all existing Direct Retro transactors
September Spotlight: Search Functionality
Last month we introduced the new UCPath Salary Cost Transfer pages that will be going live in November, and that will ultimately replace the Direct Retro pages. Training dates and details will be communicated out to Direct Retro transactors in a future communication. In the meantime, as we approach the go-live date, we aim to provide more information on the features of the new pages to give you a better understanding of what to expect.
August Spotlight: Row Selection
The current Title Code Web Inquiry System (TCS) has been replaced by the new Job Code Lookup System. This new site will provide a detailed salary plan, grade table/salary range information, and job code details. The new website is user-friendly, adheres to accessibility guidelines, and improves data accuracy.
This message contains important information about an upcoming change to the processing of Direct Retros, including:
Information about the new Salary Cost Transfer pages,
The transition plan for the new functionality, and
New required training for all Direct Retro initiators and approvers.
Please read to the end of this communication, as there is important information that will impact all users.
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.
UCPath System is back online this morning, and the upgrade is complete.
UCPath has reported a periodic error message that may occur for transactors. The error message can be bypassed by clicking okay to continue. UCPath is working with Oracle to have this issue resolved.
Please review the resources below for clarity on the UCPath Upgrades going into effect on June 20.
The UCPath system will be down for updates starting at 3 p.m. on Friday, June 16, until 9 p.m. on Monday, June 19. During this time, the UCPath system will be updated to the current software version to help ensure functionality and system potential.
