Mass PayPath Actions

Overview

Use the Mass PayPath template to submit payroll actions for upload into UCPath.  The instructions referenced below should only be applied for graduate and undergraduate student employees in graduate academic titles. 

Steps

  1. Download the template

  2. Review the UPKs: https://spwebserv.ucop.edu/LocationUsers/LOCplayer/index.html?Guid=59d2ad95-673f-4216-9b20-965d54d2ca1c

    1. Job Aid:

  3. Complete the template

    1. The three sections represent the 3 tabs in the PayPath module

    2. Not all fields need to be completed for each type of PayPath; DO NOT delete unused fields or rows

    3. Pay special attention any time you need to reference the Employee Record Number; you want to make sure you are referencing the correct job

    4. Do not use this template to add Additional Pay

    5. Refer to the samples

  4. Save the template

    1. MANDATORY naming convention: SDCMP_E081_MASSUPDATEPAYPATH_YYYYMMDD

    2. Save template as an excel format

  5. Attach to our Google Form: https://forms.gle/qcpWcror49zNmMUA9

  6. Submit no later than 7 days prior to the PayPath payroll deadline* you wish to impact.  For requests to extend the end date, submit no later than 7 days prior to the appointment end date*  

    1. For extensions, the last day to extend an appointment is the day before the end date.  Please take that into consideration when submitting your request.

    2. Keep in mind that larger files may take longer to review, so sooner is always better than later.  You'll also want time to make corrections if any records do not process due to errors. We do not review submissions for content, but rather that the headers/required information are all present to allow for a successful upload.

*We cannot guarantee that any files submitted past this deadline will be processed in time for the payroll deadline. Currently, PayPath files are reviewed on Tues/Thurs and they require 2 users for the review and upload process.
