    • PeopleSoft favorites saved before October 15 will migrate over with the improved navigation changes.

 Did you know? UCPath does not allow effective sequencing in position data. Position data only allows one update per effective date, so if the appropriate effective date is already in use and requires another update on the position data record, it is necessary to submit a position update form to UCPath.

  • When an FTE change is required and the effective date in position is already in use, the UCPath team must make the corrections in position data. Location teams should avoid using the "next available" date which could result in negative impacts to pay, accruals and benefit eligibility.
  • Note that job data updates allow effective sequencing. To learn more about using PayPath tabs for position and job data updates, please refer to these job aids:
