Did you know?

Employees can generate their own verification of employment documents.

  • Access UCPath > Income and Taxes > Verification of Employment > Generate Summary Report
  • Employees who’ve opted out should refer verifiers (such as banks, employers or leasing agents) to UCPath to complete employment and income verifications (phone: 855-982-7284 or email: ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu)
  • Refer to UCnet for more details

HR Smart Templates do not have global (non-US) address logic.

  • This means global addresses may not map correctly from HR Smart Templates to UCPath 
  • If working with an employee who has a global address, we recommend asking the employee to log into UCPath to verify and update their address if necessary. 

UC’s patent policy requires all employees and contractors to sign a patent acknowledgment. 

  • There are approximately 50,000 employees who need to complete a patent acknowledgment in UCPath.   
  • Location transactors can identify employees and contractors missing the patent acknowledgment electronic signature in UCPath by running the Compliance with Patent Acknowledgement report in CDW (Pathway to report is: UCPath CDW > Workforce Administration > Compliance with Patent Acknowledgment).
  • Refer to the patent acknowledgment frequently asked questions for additional information.
