Berkeley Regional Services

Dear Staff served by SHARE, 

I am writing today to share the news about a location change for Berkeley’s new employee onboarding sessions conducted by the central Berkeley Regional Services (BRS) onboarding team that reports to Cynthia Davis. Currently, these onboarding sessions are offered each week at 457 Evans Hall. Because of the popular demand for these sessions, a new more convenient space has been secured.

Dear Colleagues,

As our sister campuses go live with UCPath, there will be a few short periods when the UCPath system will be unavailable for access. This means that the UCPath Online portal will be unavailable for viewing paychecks, leave accruals, tax information, and other self-service functions during these periods. Please plan to access UCPath Online before or after these periods.

Dear SHARE Departments,

With our recent UCPath transition, we were given a grace period to accommodate manual overrides for paygroups for certain title codes. Specifically, Readers and Tutors in the UCPath system default to a biweekly paygroup (1BH). When SHARE completes a hire template, we have to request in the notes section that the UCPC person in Riverside who approves the hire template manually override them to a monthly hourly paygroup (1MH).

Dear SHARE, 
UC Path processed range adjustments for select Academic non-senate titles effective 7/1/19. These range adjustments were reflected on the 8/1/19 paycheck. Unfortunately, some of the range adjustments did not work properly and resulted in over or underpayment. We heard from a few departments about this, so we are now auditing all SHARE 7/1 range adjustments that seemed too high or low and initiating corrective actions.
