Impacted Module: Workforce Administration

Expected Release Date: Delayed

What’s changing?

The Direct Entry project (formerly known as the Hire Pilot) introduces a new and improved way for locations to enter new hires—Employees, Contingent Workers, and Concurrent Hires—directly into UCPath using a structured approval framework. Here are the key updates:

  • Early adopters from Central Offices will begin using the new Manage Human Resources tile before it becomes available to all transactors.
  • Manage Human Resources tile features the following sub-tiles:
    • Create Employee
    • Create Contingent Worker
    • Organizational Relationship

Who will be impacted?

For now, if you currently have access to the Smart HR Templates, please continue to use them as usual until the pilot phase is complete. While you may see the Manage Human Resources Tile, you will not have the ability to use it.

Local leadership will determine the best timing to release the Direct Entry functionality to all transactors, with broader campus-wide changes expected to start rolling out in 2025.
