UCPath Notice: Tracker Profile ID vs. I-9 ID

On 9/1/2021, we received a reminder from the UCPath Center regarding Tracker Profile ID. Please note:

  • If the I-9 ID is entered in error it can potentially overwrite another employees profile and integrate erroneous Citizenship and Work Authorization information in UCPath for your new hire.
  • If the Profile ID is not entered, a new Tracker I-9 will be initiated causing a duplicate profile.
    • This will require a case to CRU to resolve.

For more information, please see this article on our website.
