Issue 19
UCPath is the University of California’s comprehensive payroll, benefits, human resources and academic personnel solution for all UC employees.

Welcome to UCPath!

After years of hard work, anticipation, training, setbacks, accomplishments, milestones met, and diligent work by many people working as a team, UCPath officially went live at UCI January 2, 2020! Employees were able to access UCPath Online on January 2 and receive their first UCPath-pay January 2 (monthly) and January 8 (bi-weekly).  Congratulations to everyone involved and welcome to UCPath!

This is just the beginning. Now, initiators and transactors adapt to a new payroll and HR system to make it all run smoothly from here forward. Visit the transactional user page of ucpath.uci.edu for job aids, resources, training materials, training schedules and more as you become familiar with the new UCPath system and adapt to new transactional processes.

Where to Go for Help or Questions

As a transactional user needing help with transactions:
  • Stop by the drop-in center at the ICF-315 training center through February 27 for questions and help with transactions. We are here to support you.
    Mondays – Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
    Fridays from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
  • Talk with the Point of Contacts in your Division
  • Contact the Employee Experience Center (EEC) to ask a question or open a case

We encourage transactors and approvers to take advantage of the drop-in center to get support in processing transactions and asking questions. It’s the fastest way to get answers.

Direct Deposit Changes Have a Transition Period

Please note:  If an employee updates any portion of their Direct Deposit information, such as adding an extra account or removing/adding new information, there will be a transition process for the change that can take several weeks to complete.

  • If the transition process hasn’t finalized by the time their next payroll cuts, the employee will receive a paper paycheck that will be mailed the day before payday to their home address on record.
  • The transition process can take up to two pay periods to officially update.
