Payroll Services currently offers the following WebForms to request transactions. Transaction Requests to Payroll Services must be received by the "Campus to Payroll Services to Effect Check" date to allow appropriate time for processing (UCM Transactional and Time & Attendance Deadlines). Please note that the 'GL Post Confirm' is the date UCPATH will send information to campus GL Systems (Oracle).
Note: As part as our goal to enhance transparency to campus units on status of payroll transactions, we are working to deploy a new workflow tool Kissflow. The target date for this workflow tool is coming in 2026. We will be reaching out to the CAO group for input and assistance with testing, so stay tuned!
