Did You Know:

Pay group is automatically assigned in UCPath

  • The pay group defaults to DEF when a person is hired, rehired or transferred
  • A batch process runs multiple times per day to assign the appropriate pay group based on a variety of factors including union affiliation, FLSA status, pay frequency (monthly or biweekly), etc.
  • Pay group is a way to group employees based on shared characteristics to facilitate payroll processing

 

Pay Group Override

  • A pay group override can be requested to align the pay frequency (monthly or biweekly) for employees with multiple jobs
  • A pay group override can be requested during HR template processing by including a comment on the template
    • A job data update form can be submitted for overrides not requested on the template
  • Special pay groups exist for certain scenarios (X= location code)
    • XMH: allows hourly employees to be paid monthly
    • XBE: allows exempt salaried employees to be paid biweekly
    • XMS: is used for monthly salaried employees and requires hours be submitted positive time
