The UCPath Center is the transactional hub for human resources, payroll, benefits, general ledger, workforce administration and academic processes across the entire University of California system. Located in Riverside, California, the UCPath Center will serve more than 200,000 employees from each UC campus and medical center as well as vendors, location administrators, and policy makers from the University of California Office of the President. Once fully deployed near the middle of 2020, the UCPath Center staff will remain committed to unparalleled customer service, continuous process improvement and ongoing technological upgrades.

The UCPath Center will execute the objectives of the UCPath Project. Part of the University of California’s Working Smarter Initiative, UCPath is a systemwide project to align HR, payroll processes and technology. The project includes replacing UC's 30-year-old payroll/personnel system with up-to-date technology and establishing a shared services approach to support all UC employees.

An online portal will also be available to all UC employees 24/7 to access their employment records and other important information. In addition, UCPath Center employees will be available to answer questions about payroll, benefits and more during business hours.
