Student Worker Offboarding Roadmap

The following information will provide guidance on steps you need to take and resources you might want to consider before you leave your work assignment.

 


Steps to Take

  • Letter of resignation

    Please provide a written letter of resignation to your direct supervisor,  including the effective date of your resignation.

    Speak with your supervisor regarding items needed to be completed by your resignation date:

    • Tasks that need to be reassigned
    • Disposition of e-mail and network files
  • Review and update personal information in UCPath (employee)
    Review and Update – Home Address

    Separating employees should review and update their home and mailing addresses. In situations when an employee is not on direct deposit, the final paycheck will be issued as a paper check and will be mailed to the home address in UCPath. Additionally, other important information such as UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) will be sent to the address in UCPath.

    Note, paper paychecks are always mailed to the home address on file in UCPath, even if a mailing address is provided.

    Review Secondary Email Address

    Separating employees are advised to list a secondary email address on file (non-UCR or non-UC email address). UCPath will use that email address to send information to access the UCPath Former Employee Portal, where a separating employee will be able to access their earning statements, W-2 forms, and other important documentation. 

    Employees should review and update their personal information in UCPath prior to termination by: 

  • Review and update direct deposit
    Getting to the Direct Deposit Page

    Access the UCPath Online website at https://ucpath.universityofcalifornia.edu/.

    You will be asked to login with your UCR netID. Multifactor authentication is required to access the UCPath Center website. After you're logged in, navigate to the Direct Deposit Page:

    • From the Dashboard: 
      • Income and Taxes > Direct Deposit
    • From the Menu: 
      • Employee Actions > Income and Taxes > Direct Deposit

    Before you change your direct deposit information, you must validate your identity. UCPath randomly displays one of the security questions set up on your profile. If you cannot answer it, you will be asked to validate your identity by other means.

  • Review and update W2

    For active employees, if you signed up for an online W-2, you can view via Income & Taxes > View Online W-2/W-2C and click "View a Different Tax Year" in upper right.

    For terminated employees, you will access via the former employee portal. If you need assistance with access, please reach out to UCPath Center at (855) 982-7284.

    For 2017 and prior, if you signed up for an online W-2, you’ll be able to view or print it from AYSO. If you have trouble accessing AYSO, please reach out to ucpathhelp@ucr.edu.

  • Verification of Employment

    Former employees who need to provide employment verification can call the UCPath center at (855) 982-7284 (Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., PST) to speak with an associate. Former employees hired prior to October 2018 may be able to obtain employment verification from At Your Service Online (AYSO)

  • Access to email after separation

    Email terminates immediately for student employees who leave UC and have not graduated, otherwise student employees who leave their work assignment and continue their studies at UC will still have their email.

  • Review process to open an account to the Former Employee Portal Access - UCPath

    When an employee’s status changes from active to inactive, UCPath triggers a welcome and an invitation to the separating employee to create an account in the Former Employee Portal, where the employee will have access to:

    1. Personal Information Summary
    2. History of earnings statements and;
    3. W-2 history

    Former employees will have access to their information for three years following their separation. Separating employees must provide a valid email address in UCPath prior to separation via one of the following email selections in Personal Information Summary:

    1. Home
    2. Other
    3. Campus
    4. Dormitory

    If the employee designates one of these as “preferred,” UCPath will send an email to that address. If the employee does not mark one as “preferred,” the UCPath system will use the first populated email address in the order listed above. Please note: if separated employees have access to their business email address after separation, they must enter it into one of the email selections above and designate it as preferred.

    If no email address was listed, the former employee must contact UCPath and provide an email address to create a former employee account.

Additional Considerations

  • Return of university property

    Please return all University property in your possession, including:

    • Keys
    • Electronic key cards
    • Phones
    • Laptops
    • Monitors
    • Keyboards
    • Mouse

    Any University property, including documents and records that an employee has been allowed to take home should be returned prior to their last day of employment.

  • University electronic resources

    Where applicable, please provide access to University email, shared files, voicemail or any other electronic resources to insure continuity of University business operations.

    In some cases, access will not be required, and the University will terminate email/other accounts as appropriate.

  • Transfer sick and vacation credit

    To find out more, please review the Employment Service Credit Verification pdf. Please note, the breadcrumb trail indicated on the form is out of date.  

    To initiate this process, the Prior Service Credit Adjustment form must be submitted to UCPath by the employee directly. This can be done by logging into UCPath online and navigate to Forms Library > Access Forms > State Agency Prior Service Verification.

  • Unemployment Insurance

    Separated employees may be eligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits. To determine their eligibility, they must file a claim at a local office of the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD). They may also file a claim by calling EDD at (800) 300-5616 or by visiting their website at https://edd.ca.gov/. Additionally, a Human Resources representative is available to assist at (951) 827-3641, or at employee.relations@ucr.edu, to provide the employee with information regarding considerations in determining eligibility.
