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: 

  1. Contact your existing and new inter-location transfer coordinator
  2. Ensure your new location has processed your transfer in UCPath
  3. Check your medical plan eligibility
  4. Make sure your retirement benefits and savings are on track
  5. Review your pay statement
