Dear campus departments and key contacts,
I/we am writing today to share some good news that will help expedite the onboarding time frame for new Berkeley employees and alleviate a pain point we have been striving to improve for several years.
What is the news?
Link to the BRS Timekeeping/CalTime sub page announcing this transition.
While many individuals have completed their re-verifications, the campus still must proceed with termination noticing (as outlined below) for those who do not complete the process because non-compliance can result in USCIS fines of up to $2,500 per employee and potential risk to federal funding. Accordingly, the following steps will occur:
Background: In order for UCPath to correctly generate pay for GSIs/TAs, an appointment must be entered into UCPath for the full, five-month duration of the pay period for the semester (8/1/23 to 12/31/23 for fall 2023). Occasionally, situations arise in which a GSI/TA is hired late, or will be working a partial semester. The calculators in this worksheet will help units determine additional pay that is owed in these situations to ensure that the GSI/TA receives the correct amount of compensation for the semester based on time worked.
At the annual recognition ceremony on Tuesday, 4/25/23, recipients of the 2023 Chancellor's Outstanding Staff Awards (COSA) were honored plus featured in a campus CALMessage from the Chancellor and the COSA Committee on 5/16/23.
Fiscal Close (FY22-23) deadlines were shared with all Berkeley faculty and staff via a joint Vice Chancellor Finance (VCF) / Vice Chancellor Administration (VCA) CALMessage on 5/3/23.
In order to help departments/units begin their preparations, below is a "preview" of the deadlines that have been identified for services provided by Berkeley Regional Services (BRS). These deadlines will also be included in the VCF/VCA CalMessage.
Congratulations to ERSO's Sanchita Pal, and ProS' Tian Yu on being named two of the outstanding 28 campus managers and supervisors who were bestowed this year's Excellence in Management Award.
