UCPath (the UC Payroll, Accounting, Timekeeping, and Human Resources ) is the University of California’s new, modernized payroll, benefits, human resources and academic personnel system for all UC employees. It replaced UC's 35-year old Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) at UC Irvine in January 2020.
The new Employee Experience Center (aka the UCPath Help Desk) will provide functional support for UCPath Monday through Friday. The EEC Team can be contacted at (949) 824-0500 or by email at eec@uci.edu. We recommend visiting their self-service portal.
There are two ways to get to the UCPath Center. Please visit the UCPath website or go through the UCI Zotportal.
Log into the Zot!Portal. In the upper right-hand corner log in with your UCINETID and your DUO Multi-Factor Authentication. Click on the Work/Life tab (under Faculty/Staff if you are also a student). In the top-left corner of the page select link for UCPath Online.
You must have the following credentials and security: Have a UCINetID and be enrolled in the Campus Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Your UCInetID is the first part of your email address. It is not your ID number. For example, the UCInetID for Peter Anteater (if your email address is panteate@uci.edu) panteate would be your UCInetID.
Duo Multi-factor Authentication also known as (MFA) uses Duo to add a second security layer of protection when accessing UCI systems and services in use. To enroll in Duo, please visit our website at Duo Multifactor Authentication for instructions.
If you are already enrolled with Duo, but have further questions and issues visit our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) FAQs help page.
People in UCPath will be assigned a KSAMS role which will regulate and restrict access in the UCPath system. KSAMS roles can be requested by you, a manager, but will be approved by your Departmental Security Administrator, (DSAs).
We strongly recommend partnering with your HR/payroll department, your manager, or your DSA for support, as they will know exactly what KSAMS roles you need to do your job as well as assist you with any additional questions.
Alternatively, you can contact UCI’s local Employee Experience Center (EEC) at 949-824-0500 or send an email to eec@uci.edu.
Role-based training is provided for all UCI individuals who perform specific tasks in UCPath, including Initiators, approvers, and inquiry-only users. A series of recommended and optional UCPath courses, referred to as a learning path, provides each UCI learner with the necessary skills and training to ensure system proficiency. Please sign up in the UC Learning Center, (UCLC) for training.
No. PPS will be available in "View-Only" mode in order to make historical records available.
All active employee records have been migrated to UCPath. Historical records (pre-UCPath) will be available via the "View-Only" mode in PPS or in AYSO.
AYSO is still available for historical W-2 information as well as payroll history prior to UCPath. View earning statements, benefits, and retirement information by visiting and registering at Retirement At Your Service.
We strongly recommend partnering with your HR/payroll department, your manager, or your DSA for support, as they will know exactly what KSAMS roles you need to do your job as well as assist you with any additional questions.
