New Update Option for Emergency Contact Information in UCPath



DBRs, please share this information via your internal listserv.  Please do not reply to this email.  Please send a separate email with questions to benefits at ucr.edu<mailto:benefits at ucr.edu>.




The UCPath Center has introduced a new emergency contact relationship type, "Contact if Detained/Arrested."

Employees can update their emergency contact information in UCPath to add a contact to be notified if they are detained or arrested at work.

Why This Matters
This update ensures employees can record their notification preferences. It is part of the California Workplace - Know Your Rights notification issued earlier this year.

What You Need to Know
The new option is available in Employee Self Service under Emergency Contacts. No action is required from locations, but you may receive questions from employees. UCPath encourages locations to remind employees to review and update their emergency contact information.
