Service Credit Verification

Employment service credits will follow an employee transferring from one UC location to another; please note that this is not an automatic process. Employees are responsible for requesting verification of prior UC, CSU, DOE, and State of California employment service credit to ensure an accurate account of their total employee service credits. Payroll and/or the employee's department are responsible for the verification process. 

Please refer to the Employee Service Credit Verification Guidelines, which provides detailed guidance on the verification and transferring of employment service credit.

Job Standards for non-represented employees are a description of the scope, key responsibilities, and knowledge and skill requirements of a specific job level within a job function and family.
