Effective Winter 2023 (01/01/2023), the child care reimbursement for ASEs and GSRs has been increased to $1,350 per quarter. If you have already processed a childcare reimbursement for an ASE or GSR in UCPath for Winter 2023 for the old amount of $1,100, information on how to correct is forthcoming. Please refer to FAQs for Implementation of New Labor Contracts for GSRs, ASEs and Postdocs for updated information related to the new Collective Bargaining agreements, including Child Care Reimbursement updates and see Support for Student Parents for further details regarding Child Care Reimbursement. Please see a table below for the maximum reimbursement amounts for each quarter during AY 2022-2023:

  • Reason: New Additional Pay
  • Effective Date: the first of the month (1-month period ONLY2)
  • End Date: the end of the month
  • Pay Period Amt: varies (up to $1100 for Fall 2022. Effective Winter 2023, up to $1,350)
  • Goal Amount: same as Pay Period Amt

    • See an Additional Pay sample.

    Example: It is June 12, 2021 and student submitted child care reimbursement for Spring 2021. Since we are pre-data change deadline for the current month/quarter, you can process the additional pay via PayPath update. 

    One-Time Payment 

    • Earnings Code: CCA
    • Earnings Amount: Amt. varies (up to $1100 for Fall 2022. Effective Winter 2023, up to $1,350)
    • Earnings Begin: First day of month (1-month period ONLY2)
    • Earnings End: Last day of month
    • Pay End Date: Should auto-generate to next on-cycle paycheck

    Steps:

    1. Navigate to Self Service Transactions Links > Select One Time Payments > Search for your employee and select Get Employees
    2. Click the name of the appropriate employee job record
    3. Enter the Earnings Code
    4. Enter the Earnings Amount
    5. Enter the Earnings Begin and Earnings End Dates
    6. Enter Initiator Comments
      1. Ex: Entered missed Fall 2020 child care reimbursement for December 2020 in the amount of $1100.
    7. Click Submit

    Notes:

    • DO NOT SUBMIT One-Time Payment during UCPath Non-Transaction Days. If submitted during this time period, it will not be processed in the next cycle and will essentially be "deleted". You will have to submit a new One-Time Payment after the non-transaction days.
    • If you do not have access to submit One-Time Payment in UCPath, please submit UCPath Services and Support ticket to request access to the module.
    • If student was active during applicable pay period but has since been put on SWB or Terminated from position you are trying to apply the one-time payment to, you will need to submit a ticket to UCPC. First, submit the one-time payment in UCPath then submit a case to UCPC to request the one-time pay be processed.
      • Ex: Student was an active TA in December 2020. It is now February 2021 and student is on SWB. You will need to submit the One-Time Payment then submit a ticket to UCPC since the student is not currently active.
    • If the additional pay is the only pay/student has financial hardship from not receiving payment (ex: Summer Session TA/Associate-In pay processed via additional pay), submit via off-cycle. Otherwise, retro additional pay should be submitted via One-Time Payment and will be paid with next on-cycle paycheck.
    • If student submitted reimbursement form for first or second month of quarter and we are in the third month before the payroll deadline, it is recommended to submit for current month via Additional Pay so that you do not have to submit One-Time Payment.
      • Ex: We are in Winter 2021 and a student submitted their childcare reimbursement form on March 3, 2021 for charges from February 2021. Since we are still before the March deadline and within Winter quarter, submit the full childcare reimbursement request in March before the payroll deadline via Additional Pay in PayPath.
    • Campus best practice is to submit One-Time Payment for any retro additional pay. 

    Example: It is January 18, 2021 and you are submitting an additional pay for pay period 12/01-12/31, you would follow the above steps to submit a One-Time Payment. Submitting a retroactive Additional Pay transaction in PayPath will not disburse the money to the student if the end date has passed.

    titleChange Job Code

    We do not recommend utilizing the same position number for different titles (TA, Associate, Reader, Tutor, GSR). If a position has been created for a certain title, we recommend keeping the position with that title and not fluctuating the job code regardless of if the position is filled or vacant. The recommended practice if a graduate student will be employed in a different title is to is hire them into a new (or vacant) position with the correct job code. Changing job codes on positions can cause inaccurate reporting as the data may only be reflected on the current job code for the position.  

    Examples:

    • A student is employed as a GSR 003284 in Position A for Winter. The student will be hired as a Reader 002850 for Spring. Position A should not be updated from a GSR 003284 to Reader 002850. Instead, the student should be hired into Position B (Reader 002850) and terminated from Position A (or placed on a SWB, if applicable). 

    • A student is employed as a Tutor 002860 in Spring in Position C and the student will be a TA 002310 for the following Fall. The job code for Position C should not be updated. Instead, the student should be hired into Position D with job code 002310.
