UCPATH

UCPATH is a UC wide system transition for HR and Payroll systems. UCPATH is an upgrade that brings UC Davis in to the 21st century with enhanced accessibility for employees, streamlined processes and connectivity across all UC entities. Please check this page regularly for general information, training resources, and exclusive content for OCP units.

UC PATH=UC Payroll, Academic Personnel, Timekeeping and Human Resources

What Should I Do To Prepare?

Per the UCD UCPATH team:

  • Make sure your personal information is current in At Your Service Online. 
  • Health employees should also review personal information in Employee Self-Service.
  • If you still receive a paper paycheck, sign-up for direct deposit to get paid on payday. If you already use direct deposit, you don't need to do anything.  Please note that paper checks will be mailed to home addresses and no longer will be delivered to home departments.
  • Enroll in Duo multi-factor authentication to access UCPath Online. Health employees will need a second instance of Duo.
  • Submit your timecards on time using existing timekeeping systems. Any delay in timecard submissions could delay your pay. 
OCP Personnel Recommendation: Be sure to save copies of any tax information, employment verification, et cetera. It is especially important to save recent pay statements for comparison as these documents will look different after Go Live.

After Go-Live

After UCPATH goes live, the UCPATH team recommends:

  1. Carefully review your first paycheck and notify your department immediately if something is wrong.
  2. Make sure your personal information converted correctly at UCPath Online.
  3. Split your direct deposit in up to three different accounts at UCPath Online.  
  4. Continue to use At Your Service Online to view past earnings statements and W-2 reports.
