The UCPath Center has announced that the original Direct Retro (DR) tool will be decommissioned in July, 2025. The last day to initiate and approve any direct retro transactions using the DR tool is July 1, 2025, by 5 p.m. Beginning in July, the tool will become read-only, and no further edits or submissions will be possible.
As a reminder, the DR tool was officially replaced in December, 2023, by the updated Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) tool and process.
Action Required:
Departments should review and complete any necessary payroll transfers in the DR tool prior to the June, 2025, deadline specifically:
- All payroll transfers for paychecks dated October, 2021, and earlier
- Any subsequent transfers for paychecks dated after October, 2021, that were originally processed through the DR tool
Once the DR tool is decommissioned, transactors will no longer have access to:
- Transfer paychecks dated prior to October, 2021
- Redistribute earnings that were previously transferred using the DR tool
Please take the necessary steps to review historical payroll transactions and ensure all outstanding transfers are addressed in a timely manner.
