Mass PayPath Template Updated (original message)
UCPath updated the Mass PayPath (E-081) template on April 30, 2026.
UCPath added a new optional Dot Line field to the template to support positions with more than one reporting relationship. This allows locations to capture formally an additional “Reports To” relationship, commonly used for shared oversight or administrative coordination. Reporting relationships will reflect consistently across UCPath.
Locations should ensure they are using the most up-to-date version of the template available on the UCPath Template Library page. Files created using an outdated or incorrect template format cannot be loaded and will be blocked by a system hard stop error.
What is changing
The Mass Update PayPath (E-081) template supports bulk workforce administration data updates. UCPath added a Dot Line field to allow locations to capture and update Dot Line information during mass updates.
What this means for locations
- Locations must use the most current CSV listed as “Mass Update for WFA Data Changes (Batch File)” on the UCPath Template Library page under the Interfaces Templates section of the UCPath Location Support site
- Files created using an outdated or incorrect template format cannot be loaded and will be blocked by a system hard stop error
- Locations should replace any locally saved copies with the current version
