Did You Know: If two parking files (I-178) are submitted during the same pay period, the file submitted last takes precedence over the prior file

  • More Parking File Reminders:
    • If pre-tax limit rates change from one calendar year to another (currently $280.00 pre-tax for 2022), locations must submit a new I-176 IB file for those employees that pay over the pre-tax limit. This will ensure UCPath doesn’t follow the prior pre-tax rates and cause any downstream issues with employee checks.
    • If an employee has been terminated from UCPath and still has an ‘Active’ parking/transit enrolment, the I-182 (Parking Reconciliation Report) will continue remit data as if that employee was still being deducted.
    • Transactions submitted for biweekly employees do not initially create an error if the end date doesn’t fall within the pay period.
    • If submitting both biweekly and monthly transactions, ensure you are meeting appropriate deadlines.

Other Updates & Reminders:

  • Navigate to UCPath > Help > Location Users to access recently updated training materials:
    • Payroll (PAYL200: Additional Compensation and Payroll Requests):
      • Job Aid: Termination and Final Pay
        • New job aid provides an overview of the final pay termination process and the use of the new final pay comments template.
      • Simulation: Submit Final Pay Request
        • Updated images and text to show the use of the final pay comments template
