Monthly Employee FOM|UCPath Project Update Dear Colleagues, On Thursday, March 29th, UCR welcomed UC President Janet Napolitano and UCR Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox to a FOM|UCPath Project Team meeting. President Napolitano congratulated the team for implementing a system that will eventually serve employees across all UC locations; Chancellor Wilcox expressed his gratitude for the dedication and intentionality of the UCR project team to work through the many challenges of this pilot deployment for a critical system that impacts every single employee at UCR. President Napolitano’s visit reminded everyone that this project is bigger than just UCR. During the day-to-day challenges to ensure everyone is paid, technical issues are resolved, enhancements are developed, tickets are closed, and upcoming priorities are identified, we can become so involved in the work that we forget to look at the big picture. As a pilot campus, UCR has experienced many uncertainties, and has overcome obstacles; lessons learned in the resolution will benefit other UC locations as they go live. As we continue working on post-deployment activities, we would also like to extend our appreciation to those who have shared their feedback, which helps us continue to make improvements. Below are some examples of the progress we have made in the past few months, as well as the challenges and solutions still in progress. Project Implementation Progress Since UCR went live with UCPath, we continue to improve in the areas most critical to our campus community. For example: Paychecks: UCR estimates that over 99% of all paychecks were delivered on time in the last cycle. The number of underpayments are decreasing with each cycle and if anything is identified and/or reported, the process is initiated with UCPC to create a paycheck and delivered to the relevant Shared Services Center for distribution to the employee, typically within 1-2 days. The chart below shows a preliminary measurement of paycheck timeliness & accuracy by pay period. It measures the number of paychecks delivered by pay day vs. the number off-cycle checks (representing a missed check or significant correction) for each pay period.
