What are Salary Cost Transfers about?
The Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) module in UCPath is vital for correcting and reallocating payroll expenses. By ensuring payroll costs align with funding sources, the SCT process supports accurate financial reporting, compliance, and budget management across UC Berkeley.
The Salary Cost Transfer training equips Initiators and Approvers with the skills to initiate, review, and approve basic/unrestricted, over-the-cap/restricted, and work-study SCT transactions in UCPath. Combining foundational knowledge with hands-on practice, this training ensures users can confidently and accurately manage salary cost transfers while adhering to key deadlines and compliance requirements. Over time, as you become familiar with the system, you’ll begin to recognize patterns and think about how these transactions fit into the bigger picture.
Please note: you must complete the Position Funding training series before the Salary Cost Transfer training series.
Terminology
Funding in UCPath can also be referred to as a Full Accounting Unit (FAU) or a Chartstring.
