UCPath Systemwide Updates
Recent Issue Resolutions
Salary Cost Transfer (SCT)
Resolved issue: Resolved the defect causing Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) process from dropping rows creating an out of balance condition between the old and new data.
Direct Retros (500+ Rows)
Resolved issue: Resolved the defect causing the Direct Retro (DR) process to time out when there were over 500 rows.
Multiple Components of Pay (MCOP)
Resolved issue: Resolved the defect preventing the correct cap amount from populating in the old and new data section for Multiple Components of Pay (MCOP).
New Job Aid: Job Data – Effective Sequence and Impacts
UCPath Center has created a new job aid, Job Data – Effective Sequence and Impacts, that includes best practices and examples of job data sequencing and its impacts.
Updated Job Aid: Interlocation One-Time Additional Pay
UCPath Center has updated process steps 1, 2 and 5 in the Interlocation One-Time Additional Pay job aid.
Mass PayPath Actions (E-081) - Workaround No Longer Required
On February 22, we shared an update from UCPath regarding an issue that affected employee records with disconnected Position FTE and Job Data FTE fields when position updates were made via Mass PayPath Actions (E-081).
The issue was resolved as of April 2, and locations no longer need to use the previously communicated workaround. The workaround required marking the UC_INCLUDE_FTE column as ‘N’ only for those rows where Position and Job FTE are intentionally disconnected. This step is no longer required in order to maintain a disconnected Position and Job FTE.
