UCPath offers tools to streamline retroactive pay, including the retro results report and discrepancy form. These ensure accurate payroll. Watch the video to learn more.
UCLA Retro Pay Resources
As a reminder, we created two UCLA retro pay resources:
UCPath Retro Pay Triggers
- This quick reference guide explains retroactive pay in UCPath and identifies the fields in a PayPath transaction that trigger retro pay when a retroactive effective date is entered.
UCPath Retro Pay Reports
- This quick reference guide (QRG) explains the two UCPath retroactive pay reports: Retro Results Report and Loaded Retro Trans Report.
- The QRG identifies the frequency and purpose of each report, as well as the method for reporting retro pay discrepancies to the UCPath Center.
UCPath recently implemented the below changes.
