UCPath’s new Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) process is launching on November 13, 2023. It will streamline the existing Direct Retro process, resolve existing defects, and provide improved data accuracy.
Here’s how to prepare for the go-live. Please contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center with any questions.
All Salary Cost Transfer Initiators and Approvers should attend an instructor-led Zoom training session on the new tool to prepare for go-live. Current users will find a link to register for The Redesigned Salary Cost Transfer Entry and Approval Process (opens in new window) in My Required Training in the UC Learning Center (opens in new window). Register now to ensure you can attend at your preferred session time.
The UCPath Salary Cost Transfer Redesign Project (opens in new window) video provides a brief overview of the upcoming changes.
UCPath General Ledger pages will be unavailable to all transactors starting November 6, 12:01 a.m., until November 13, 7:00 a.m., when the cutover is complete. This outage includes all pages for Funding Entry and Direct Retros.
Here’s a more detailed timeline and additional deadlines leading up to go-live:
- By November 3:
- All Salary Cost Transfer Initiators and Approvers must approve or deny pending direct retros in UCPath.
- All Funding Entry Initiators and Approvers must approve or deny pending funding entries in UCPath.
- An email to transactors went out on October 12, 2023, with instructions to identify transactions that require attention. If you did not receive this information, please contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center.
- November 3 – 6: Transactors should not enter any new funding or direct retro transactions into UCPath.
- November 6: UCPath will process direct retros and funding entries that were approved locally by the November 3 deadline. UCPath will CANCEL all direct retro and funding entries that are pending after November 3 and will notify transactors.
- November 6 – 13: All UCPath General Ledger pages will be locked and unavailable to transactors from November 6, 12:01 a.m., until November 13, 7:00 a.m.
- November 13: UCPath General Ledger pages available and new Salary Cost Transfer pages are live. Be sure to clear your browser cache prior to logging into UCPath on Monday, November 13.
All transfers required on paychecks prior to October 2021 should be reviewed and completed before November 3. The existing Direct Retro pages will remain available only for a limited time after go-live. Once decommissioned, transactors will lose access to transfer paychecks prior to October 2021 and to redistribute earnings that were previously transferred using the Direct Retro tool.
