UCPath tips, date for January paychecks, W-2 news and more

Below are a number of important dates and reminders for December and January to be aware of, including some regarding monthly paychecks, taxes and your 2016 benefits. Please note that some things may require action on your part.

Monthly employees: Payday for December 2015 earnings will be Jan. 4, 2016

As a reminder, the pay date for monthly employees for December 2015 earnings will be on Jan. 4, 2016 as Jan. 1 is a bank holiday. For more information about your monthly (or biweekly) paycheck, please visit UCPath and look under “Quick Links” for the current payroll calendar.

Flexible Savings Account funds — don’t lose them! 

Remember to use your FSA funds by end of 2015 or those funds may be lost. For more information, please click here.

Open Enrollment confirmation for 2016 health benefits

With Open Enrollment now closed, you should have received an email from the UCPath Center on Dec. 7 confirming your health benefits for 2016. If you don’t think you received the email confirmation, or if you have questions, please contact the UCPath Center at ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu or call 855-982-7284.

Two W-2s for 2015

With the transition to UCPath, UCOP employees will receive two W-2s for 2015. One will be from the previous UCLA system for January through November earnings, and the other will come from UCPath Center for December earnings. New employees whose first paycheck was in December will receive only one W-2.

W-4 allowances

We encourage you to review your current W-4 allowances on UCPath (under Income and Taxes) and update them as needed. As a reminder, the IRS requires a new W-4 if your allowances change in 2016.

UCPath Center holiday hours

The UCPath Center follows the Office of the President’s holiday schedule. Accordingly, the center will be closed Dec. 24-25, and Dec. 31-Jan. 1, 2016. UCPath Center associates will be available Dec. 28-30 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at 855-982-7284 for limited payroll and benefit services. Inquiries can also be made online anytime via ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu.
