Did you know? The duration of a job is a key factor in determining the benefit program an employee is eligible for.

  • When investigating a suspected employee benefits issue, always check FTE and duration before submitting a case to UCPath.
  • Duration is not a field visible in UCPath – it is a calculation determined by looking at the Effective Date of the Action and the Expected End Date of the job.
  • A job with no Expected End Date is considered indefinite.
  • Duration is re-evaluated daily to capture increases in appointment duration when the Effective Date or Expected Job End Date is updated.
