Job Record End Date Monitoring: Quarterly Reminder
As of September 15, UCLA has more than 2,600 UCPath jobs with an end date of September 30, 2023. In order to avoid unintended job terminations, we recommend doing the following by September 29:
- Run the “Jobs with Approaching End Dates” CDW report (CDW navigation: Team Content > UCPath CDW > Workforce Administration > Jobs with Approaching End Dates Report).
- Review the pulled records to ensure the September 30, 2023, Expected Job Record End Dates are correct.
- If errors are identified, initiate the appropriate transaction(s) to update the records (see “Job Record End Date Monitoring” knowledge base article for instruction.

CRU
Tracker I-9 Purge Status
In the Tracker system, terminated employee I-9s have a Purge status. It is the responsibility of departments to:
- Verify the validity of this status and
- Request an I-9 be officially purged once the purge date requirement is met.
NOTE: you must create a case with CRU to have the record officially purged. Departments should not purge/delete the record as this will cause a compliance issue. For more information, please our Tracker I-9 Purge Status article.
UCLA Tracker Administrator Office Hours
Wednesdays: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Tracker office hours have resumed on Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Get help with E-Verify, Form I-9, Tracker and more.
