Manage Job - (AKA Replace PayPath) 2023 - 2026

The Manage Job Project is a transformative, multi-year initiative aimed at enhancing UCPath functionality. This project brings Oracle-delivered features to streamline job data processing, reducing reliance on the custom PayPath solution.

Learn More

Central to Manage Job are Activity Guides which streamline job data transactions through specific guided system processes while mitigating data entry errors. New transaction validations and edits are included to ensure data change transactions are submitted accurately and with more precision. The Manage Job solution is intended to fully replace PayPath functionality by 2026, and will be introduced in phases, beginning in 2023.

For more information, please see our past spotlights on the Manage Job project:

In addition to updating job information, Manage Job will encompass additional transaction types with validations, ensuring comprehensive functionality.

During this transition, all PayPath transactors will initially have view-only access to the Manage Job tile. Pilot users within the Region will be granted transactional privileges, with broader access being phased in over time.

Who will be impacted?

  • If you're currently using PayPath pages, please continue to do so alongside Smart HR Templates.

  • The UCPath Operations team in coordination with the pilot users will orchestrate the rollout of new functionality to all transactors, ensuring optimal timing and readiness.

Manage HR (AKA Direct Hires) 2023 - 2026

The UCPath Operations Team, working in tandem with BRS and the UCPath Center, is embarking on a collaborative journey to introduce Direct Entry in UCPath.

What is the Project About?

This multi-phased project focuses on simplifying and streamlining the process of selected hire transactions, job data changes, terminations, and transfers within UCPath. The primary goal is to minimize the number of handoffs needed to complete these transactions, providing a more efficient and user-friendly experience for our UCPath community.

For those who have used the former UCB version of HCM (prior to March 2019), this mirrors the previous ability to directly add a new employee or make updates directly to Job Data. 

Why is This Project Important?

By reducing the complexities and delays associated with transaction processing, the Direct Entry pilot aims to cut down on the manual processing that currently exists in UCPath. This initiative is expected to enhance the overall user experience and promote a more streamlined UCPath entry.

What to Expect?

The project will be implemented in multiple phases to ensure a smooth transition. We anticipate a gradual roll-out of this new functionality, designed to make UCPath transactions more efficient.

We're excited about the positive impact this project will have on our UCB transactors. Stay tuned for updates and additional information as the project progresses.
