Did You Know: Pay group is automatically assigned in UCPath

The pay group defaults to DEF when a person is hired, rehired or transferred.
A batch process runs multiple times per day to assign the appropriate pay group based on a variety of factors including union affiliation, FLSA status, pay frequency (monthly or biweekly), etc.
Pay group is a way to group employees based on shared characteristics to facilitate payroll processing.

Pay Group Override

o A pay group override can be requested to align the pay frequency (monthly or biweekly) for employees with multiple jobs.

o A pay group override can be requested during HR template processing by including a comment on the template.

A job data update form can be attached to an UCPath inquiry for overrides not requested on the HR template

o Special pay groups exist for certain scenarios (X= location code)

XMH: allows hourly employees to be paid monthly.
XBE: allows exempt salaried employees to be paid biweekly.
XMS: is used for monthly salaried employees and requires hours be submitted positive time.
