·         UCPath Upgrade Activities:

o   Planned Maintenance: UCPath will be unavailable from 12pm Friday, December 10, through 6am Monday, December 13, to complete the UCPath upgrade.

o   Code Freeze: A code freeze is in effect through December 31 to support the UCPath upgrade. There will be minimal changes to UCPath during this timeframe to ensure a smooth implementation.

·         Training: Navigate to UCPath > Help > Location Users<https://sp.ucop.edu/sites/ucpathhelp/LocationUsers/LOCplayer/data/toc.html> to access recently updated training materials:

o   Employee Self Service (POR112: Employee Actions: Benefits Information):

o   Simulation: Benefits eForms: Submit Form for Life Event-Late Enrollment

§  New simulation demonstrates how to complete and submit a Benefits eForm for a Life Event outside of the Period of Initial Eligibility (PIE)

·          Job configuration changes and location specific configurations<https://sp.ucop.edu/sites/ucpc/UCPathLocationSupport/_layouts/15/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=UCPC-1485784443-34> can be viewed on the Location Support Site<https://sp.ucop.edu/sites/ucpc/UCPathLocationSupport/default.aspx>


Did you know: The concurrent hire template and the voluntary termination template must be used when transferring an employee from an academic to staff position or from a staff to academic position.

·         EMPL records can only contain the same classified indicators as the initial job that was used to establish that EMPL record.

o   Once a record is setup as staff, only staff jobs can be added to the record moving forward, and vice versa.  Once a record is setup as academic, only academic jobs can be added to that record moving forward.

·         This logic is built in to the templates - which is why there are staff and academic versions of the templates (UC_FULL_HIRE & UC_FULL_HIRE_AC).

·         This is also the rationale for the "Transfer-Intra Location" reason code that is built in to the appropriate hire and termination templates.
