 Other Updates & Reminders:  

Senate Bill 525 (SB 525) set a new minimum wage of $23.00 per hour for “covered health care employees” effective June 1, 2024 – May 31, 2025. Minimum wages apply to both non-exempt (hourly) and exempt (salaried) employees and will continue to increase over time. Learn more.

Reminder: This is a follow-up to our notice from October 4.

UPDATE: Training Job Aid Now Available: UCPath has created a job aid that covers this process in more detail: Job Aid: SB-525 Minimum Wage for Health Care Workers

Important Reminders:

  • The salary step structure or salary ranges are NOT changing in UCPath for represented employees.
  • Compensation rates are updated at the employee record level.

New Compensation Rate Code Available:

  • To ensure Staff (Non-Academic) employees meet the minimum wage while maintaining the step structure, new rate codes were created. These codes allow transactors to add an additional pay component to cover the rate difference.
  • The UCREDH rate code was temporarily used for employees who were below the minimum wage. This interim measure was in place until a new code was configured for better reporting of employees below the minimum wage.

New Rate Codes for STAFF (Non-Academic):

  • Hourly Represented Employees: Use Rate Code UCOFSH to ensure the minimum hourly rate.
  • Salary Represented Employees: Use Rate Code UCOFSA to ensure the minimum annual salary.

Effective 10/1/2024:

  • UCPath: Will manage systemwide updates for across-the-board increases and ensure minimum compensation and appropriate rate code application.
  • Location: Responsible for maintaining minimum rates during onboarding, data changes, pay rate changes (e.g., step increases), etc.
