Impacted Module: Absence Management

Expected Release Date: July 2024

The Improve Accruals Management project will enable the UCPath production team to calculate and display accurate accrual balances for employees who have had multiple jobs and/or changes in pay frequencies. This will also position UCPath to provide more timely processing by reducing manual efforts. 

This project will also reduce/eliminate customizations, moving towards delivered functionality providing for more accurate and timely accrual balances, as well as utilizing industry best practices as they evolve. 

     Modernize Former Employee Portal

Impacted Module: Former Employee Portal

  Deploy Fluid in TAM 

Impacted Module: Talent Acquisition Management (TAM)

Expected Release Date: July 2024

The Talent Acquisition Manager (TAM) module of UCPath for Staff (non-student) recruiting will transition to the new Fluid operating interface.  This project is an extension of the Fluid Improved Navigation (FIN) project implemented in October 2022, modernizing UCPath's look, feel, and navigation functionality.  Expect that FIT will bring the same modernization to the TAM user and applicant experience

  Gender Identity and Pronouns 

Impacted Module: All Modules 

Expected Release Date: July 2024

The gender identity and pronoun (GIP) project is the next phase of the Gender Recognition and Lived Name (GRLN) policy.  This undertaking aligns nomenclature and options to reflect how the workforce can self-identify their gender, sexual orientation, and pronoun preferences. While the collection process will be automated for users signing into UCPath, these identifications are voluntary, and employees can decline to state as they deem appropriate. Therefore, such selections are not displayed or otherwise viewable on UCPath system pages to administrative users.  

    UCPath Direct Entry
