PayPath - Not Updating Range Adjustment
When processed after a range adjustment, PayPath range refreshes appear as "Saved to Database" despite not actually posting to the UCPath system. This is a global issue under review in Jira UCP-102486.
Workaround
Until this is resolved, the UCPath Center requests range refreshes be processed via Job Data Update/Position Data Update forms.
Changing Jobs within UC
There are great benefits to continuing a career within the UC system. Here are 5 key steps that will help ensure a smooth transition to a new UC location:
- Contact your existing and new inter-location transfer coordinator
- Ensure your new location has processed your transfer in UCPath
- Check your medical plan eligibility
- Make sure your retirement benefits and savings are on track
- Review your pay statement
