Last month, the UCPath Center postponed the new final pay process pilot go-live. This delay will allow for a comprehensive evaluation of feedback from pilot locations, possible enhancements, and the development of next steps to address any outstanding concerns for a successful go-live. UCPath is working with pilot locations to determine new testing and release dates.
About the New Final Pay Process
The new method for submitting final pay will streamline the process and enable UCPath to process final pay closer to the goal of one business day after separation. This update improves compliance with California labor laws, minimizes the risk of penalties, and increases efficiency. Final pay includes the final hours worked, any final entitlement usage and/or payouts for employees who are leaving the UC system, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Checks issued through Automated Clearing House (ACH) will be processed within one business day following the separation date. Funds will be deposited into the employee’s bank account(s), via direct deposit, on the following business day. For employees receiving paper checks, these will be mailed on the day the payment is processed.
If you have any questions about the final pay process, please contact the Controller's Office Solution Center.
