UCPath Notice: Extended Absence Improvements Now Available

A UCLA Gold swatch.

On May 14, the UCPath Center sent the following alert. 

Extended Absence Improvements Now Available

UCPath implemented the following enhancements to extended absence (EA) transactions to improve notification visibility and data accuracy. These updates are live.

Push Back Notifications – Extended Absence (UCP‑185211)

UCPath updated Push Back Notifications for extended absence transactions.

What changed

  • Push Back Notifications now include both the approver and the original submitter for the transaction

Why this matters

  • Ensures all parties are aware when UCPath pushes back a transaction for correction Reduces delays and follow-up inquiries

Last Day Worked Validations – Extended Absence (UCP‑185209)

UCPath implemented additional validations for the Last Day Worked field when requesting, updating or editing extended absence transactions. Last Day Worked remains a required field.

What changed

  • The system now enforces the following validations: Last Day Worked cannot be after the leave start date Last Day Worked cannot be the same day as the leave start date Last Day Worked cannot be more than 30 days prior to the leave start date

Why this matters

  • Helps prevent common data entry errors Improves data accuracy and reduces processing delays

Resources

  • Impacted training and reference materials will be updated, as needed

 
Thank you,
