While UCPath is the system of record for calculating most leave accruals, usage, and balances, some leave accruals, usage, and balances are calculated directly in HBS today and will now be processed in MyTime.During our transition to MyTime, leave balances are being imported into MyTime from UCPath and HBS in stages, upon completion of payroll processing.Balance imports for biweekly employees were completed on May 20, 2025Balance imports for monthly employees are expected to be complete by June 14, 2025.Review the MyTime Cutover Schedule for specific timelines to post accrual balances from UCPath and HBS into MyTime.Monthly employees should wait until after June 14 to confirm balances in MyTime and to reach out with any questions or to report discrepancies.A new reference guide is available to help you understand key topics related to your vacation and paid time off (PTO) leave. Understanding Leave Balances in MyTime and UCPath addresses:How and when leave accruals and service credits are calculatedDifferences between viewing leave balances in UCPath and MyTimeUnderstanding vacation/PTO maximum capsRequesting vacation/pto maximum grace period exceptionsAt the MyTime go-live, balances will be reset each pay period from UCPath for those balances where UCPath is the system of record. A record of any balance differences between HBS and UCPath will be maintained and will remain viewable in HBS. The Payroll Timekeeping Team is working through the balance differences, reconciling and requesting corrections to the UCPath balance as necessary. The UCPath Center communicates a service target of 3 months for leave balance correction.We know that navigating your leave balance information can be complicated, as different policies apply based on an employee's applicable policy or collective bargaining agreement.

The June annual Compensatory Time Off (CTO) election period in MyTime is open from June 1 to June 30.With the MyTime implementation, CTO elections take place electronically in MyTime. When an eligibility period opens, employees will find a link to the Comp Election for New Hire or FLSA Change form in the Business Processes tile on their home page.A new CTO job aid provides step-by-step instructions on how to complete a CTO election in MyTime at the time of hire, change in eligibility, or during an annual election period. If you need help completing a CTO election in MyTime, contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center.More about CTO Changes in Conjunction with MyTimeCTO or "Comp Time" is the ability to bank hours in lieu of getting paid out overtime. Eligible employees are offered the option to elect CTO in lieu of their overtime being paid out. CTO is offered at the time of hire and then annually in accordance with applicable collective bargaining contracts.Shift differentials earned for working overtime during evening and night shifts will be paid on the same paycheck as when the CTO hours are earned. As a result, shift differentials will no longer be paid when the CTO is used. This change applies only to teammates who are in shift differential eligible job codes.At the time of CTO paydown or payout, all sums in the employee's bank will be paid in accordance with the operating collective bargaining agreement(s). Any approved time off where the employee had planned to use CTO beyond the paydown or payout date may still be taken, as long as the time off was approved prior to the date of CTO paydown or payout. Under such circumstances, employees may use available vacation time, other accrued leave as appropriate, or choose to take unpaid leave. This change will be implemented on MyTime’s go-live date.Accumulated but unused CTO will be paid out to teammates twice per year in April and October, except for teammates represented by the California Nurses Association (CNA), who will maintain a bank of 36 hours when electing CTO.Due to the timing of the MyTime Rollout the first payout from MyTime will be in October 2025.Teammates will have their CTO balance paid down to 100 hours each pay period once the balance reaches 120 hours.Teammates may accrue no more than 240 hours of CTO. Any overtime earned once the 240-hour threshold is hit will be paid out as overtime.CTO election will occur annually in accordance with collective bargaining agreements via MyTime. Advertised election periods are March - April for NX and June for all other unions and policy-covered employees.Review more details on the Human Resources website. Please refer questions about CTO eligibility to your HR representative.

The fiscal year-end funding rollover program is scheduled to run at the end of June 2025. This process requires a "freeze" period during which Funding Entry Initiators and Approvers cannot enter, update, submit, or approve funding transactions in UCPath. Review important dates, deadlines, and actions below, as well as how to get help during this year’s rollover activities.About the Fiscal Year-End Funding Rollover ProcessFunding for the distribution of payroll expenses is entered and recorded in UCPath on a fiscal year basis. At fiscal year-end, central processing units at the UCPath Center run the fiscal year-end funding rollover process to create funding distributions for unexpired fund sources for the next fiscal year. This eliminates the need to re-enter funding for payroll distributions that continue beyond the current fiscal year.The rollover process determines how position funding is established for the next fiscal year.If the position’s Funding End Date is blank, the rollover process will create a new funding distribution row for the new fiscal year.If the position’s Funding End Date has expired, the rollover process will replace the expired funding chartstring with the department default chartstring.Position funding chartstrings containing inactive projects will be replaced with the department default chartstring.Fiscal Year 2024-25 Dates, Deadlines, and ActionsDate/DeadlineDepartment ActionUCPath ActionBy June 18Review current fiscal year funding distribution lines and make any updates required for funding changes to roll forward into the next fiscal year. As a best practice, the Funding End Date should be left blank for all distribution rows. By June 18Funding Entry Approvers review and approve/deny all funding entry updates required for funding changes to roll forward into the next fiscal year. June 19No department action required.Academic renewals for HCOMP faculty July 1 extensions will be updated in UCPath through a mass academic renewal process. Includes only renewals approved through APRP.From 8 a.m. on June 20 to 12 p.m. on June 27Funding entry freeze: updates prohibited during Fiscal Year End Funding Rollover processing.UCPath Center will execute the Fiscal Year End Funding Rollover process for position funding created using the Salary Cap / Multiple Component of Pay (MCOP) Funding Worksheet as well as non-MCOP funding created using the main Funding Entry page.Beginning June 28Funding Entry Initiators can enter new funding for faculty with no compensation change who need to have their funding sources reallocated. Beginning June 28Departments review position funding in MyReports for distributions appearing on the department default chartstring (i.e., Project = 2222222). Funding entry updates should be initiated and approved before the next funding entry deadline. Beginning July 7The Payroll Office will publish and distribute funding rollover error reports for review by department transactors.Reports provide error details for position level funding that DID NOT rollover.Funding entry for these positions should be entered and approved before the next payroll deadline. By July 8No department action requiredAcademic renewals for July 1 compensation will be updated in UCPath through a mass academic renewal process.This date is tentative and depends on UCPath Center deadlines.Beginning July 10For faculty who receive a July 1 compensation change, have distributions set up on capped funding sources and have a compensation rate that is over the salary cap, Funding Entry Initiators must enter new funding using the Salary Cap/MCOP Funding Worksheet to align distributions with new component pay amounts. Common QuestionsHow can I identify and review funding end dates?To view your funding end dates for positions in your department, run the Employee and Position Distribution report in MyReports.What are common funding entry errors that prevent rollover to the next fiscal year?If the rollover process does not carry forward funding to the next fiscal year, the employee will be paid out of the department default chartstring. Common errors include:Distributions that have a funding end date of June 30, 2025 or earlier. In order for funding to continue to the next fiscal year, the funding end date should be left blank.Expired funding distributions that do not pass the combo edit. For example, funding using a project where the RAS Processing End Date has expired.Positions or Departments that are inactive at the time of rollover.Funding for which funding entry was initiated, but not submitted or approved.The department will need to correct the funding and perform a salary cost transfer to transfer any payroll expenses that may have been paid out of the department default chartstring.What will happen to funding I have already set up for FY 2025-26?The fiscal year-end funding rollover process will not modify approved funding with an effective date of July 1, 2025 or later.If I know that a funding change is needed for July 1, 2025, when can I start setting up funding?If the employee’s funding does not require use of a Salary Cap / MCOP Funding Worksheet:You can enter funding changes at any time, but be sure to approve all funding effective July 1, 2025, by end of day June 18. The rollover process will skip any funding set up in the new fiscal year.You can also allow the funding rollover program to run and then enter and approve the new funding after the funding rollover program has completed. Funding changes must be entered and approved by the July, 27, funding entry deadline in order for changes to be in effect for the July, 2025, monthly pay cycle.If the employee’s funding requires use of a Salary Cap / MCOP Funding Worksheet:Wait for the academic renewals process to complete. You should not enter funding using the MCOP worksheet until the academic renewals process has extended the job to the new fiscal year and all compensation updates are complete.Be sure that funding updates are entered and approved by the July, 27, funding entry deadline in order for changes to be in effect for the July 2025 monthly pay cycle.Help ResourcesIf you have additional questions, contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center.Plan to join the Fiscal Year-End Close Presentation or June Research Administration Town Hall for additional details and the opportunity to ask questions.
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the MyReports team has updated the MyReports Enhancement Proposal Form. This new form requires UCSF authentication and is designed to simplify the submission process by consolidating all enhancement ideas into a single workspace. This enhancement will help the MyReports Advisory Group easily review ideas and determine which ones to prioritize for development.If you have a suggestion for how we can improve MyReports, please consider submitting your proposal using this form.
Based on input from the MyReports Campus Advisory Group, a new Journal ID column is now available as a display column in the Distribution of Payroll Expense (DPE) reports. This column is hidden by default but is available for selection as a checkbox under “Display Columns”.The Journal ID column helps tie together UCPath payroll details to general ledger transactions, and can be particularly useful for reviewing suspended payroll expenses. Users can refer to the Suspense Indicator column to identify expenses that failed to post in a payroll journal. The Journal ID in the corresponding row can be used to search the Transaction Detail Report for suspense-clearing journals that post the expenses to valid chartstrings in later periods.UCPath payroll journals use the naming convention LL00XXXXXX. If payroll fails to post in one of these payroll journals, the Controller’s Office will clear these expenses in suspense-clearing journals that use the following naming convention:Suspense-clearing journals are named LX00XXXXXX with the same numeric characters as the original UCPath payroll journalIf there are remaining suspended items that were not successfully cleared, additional suspense-clearing journals may be created named LY00XXXXXX or LZ00XXXXXX 1. For example, the expenses in the DPE shown below failed to post as indicated by the “Y” in the Suspense Indicator column: 2. Users can search for any suspense clearing journals that may have cleared these items by searching for the 8-digit numeric suffix in the Transaction Detail Report’s Journal ID filter: 3. Users can verify that payments were successfully cleared from suspense by searching Journal IDs and limiting project IDs: It is important to know that suspense-clearing journals aggregate suspended payroll by chartstring and account when posting to the general ledger. These journals will not contain the same employee-level details as found in the DPE. In the prior example above, the six individual payments that suspended were cleared with a single journal transaction equal to the sum of the original expenses.For more information on the suspense clearing process, please refer to Clearing Salary and Benefit Expenses in Payroll Suspense.Users should clear their web browser cache to take advantage of this enhancement.
Petty Cash Custodians recently reported being charged a fee by Wells Fargo Bank for cashing petty cash checks for clinical trial studies.
