Position Control & Job Data Changes & Sequencing 18
Position Data Sequence When making changes, Position Data updates do not allow effective sequencing. Departments can only submit one transaction (with multiple changes) with the same effective date. Example: A department in the school of Physical Science identifies that a FTE change is needed for Position 43216789 effective 05/01/2021. However, there was already a position change for Reports to Change (RTC) row effective 05/01/2021: Department should submit a Position Update Form to UCPath via a case inquiry requesting Correct History be utilized to update the 05/01/2021/RTC row for Position 43216789. Departments should NOT submit a Position Update via PayPath effective 05/02/2021 (next available date) as an alternative to submitting a Position Update Form to UCPath. Using the incorrect effective date via PayPath can result in several unintended downstream impacts (missed pay, over payment, etc.). 19
Example of Position Data Change Error This is an error message from PayPath Actions (Position Data tab) indicating there was previously a position change with the same effective date entered. If the change NEEDS to occur on this date, proceed with submitting Position Data Update form. 20
When to Use Position Update Form Use Position Update form whenever a position change needs to take place with a previously used effective date. You can download the position update form from the Forms Library on the UCPath portal menu. Navigation: Forms Library > Access Forms > (Under Human Resrouces) Position Update. *Must download document and attach file to UCPC case. 21
Job Data Sequencing Job Data updates do allow effective sequencing. Departments can submit multiple transactions with the same effective date. Example: Department in School of Law submits and approves a job data update via PayPath to update an employee s Salary Step effective 05/01/2021. After approving the PayPath transaction, location identifies that the Expected Job End Date was not updated as requested. Location can proceed with submitting an additional Job Data update via PayPath. The system will automatically effective sequence a new row that contains the updated Salary Step and the updated Expected Job End Date. Reminder: The PayPath effective date defaults to the current date users should remember to manually enter the correct effective date when submitting transactions. 22
When to use Job Data Update Form The Job Data Update form should be used to update an employee s job information only if it cannot be updated by the department via a Template or PayPath Action. Examples: Changes to benefit eligibility / coverage level. Primary job indicator Incorrect job code assignment at hire Changes to historical job data after separation or transfer. 23
