Did You Know?

When employees call UCPath at 855-982-7284, they can select option #4 for assistance in Spanish. UCPath partners with a translation service to provide help in over 240 languages.

It is important to monitor employee records and contingent worker records with an "Expected Job End Date" at the end of each quarter.

  • Upon reaching the "Expected Job End Date," UCPath will terminate all employees with expired jobs for which the "End Job Automatically" box is selected.
  • To avoid unintended impacts, run the Jobs with Approaching End Dates (R-103) and Escalation/Reminder of Approaching Job End Dates (R-384) reports and review records scheduled to terminate automatically.

For additional information reference the Job Record End Date Monitoring Article.

Case submitters can reopen closed inquiries when further attention is required. Here are the functionalities:

  • The original submitter can reopen their inquiries of any type.
  • Cases can be reopened three times within one year of the original closure date.

The original case numbers, associated communications, and attachments are retained.
 

For additional information, please refer to the UCPath Help Site Topic: Reopen Closed Inquiry.
