Access UC Path Portal
UCPath Portal is an online, self-service tool that gives employees the ability to view and update personal information, sign up for direct deposit, and update tax withholdings. New employees need their Single Sign-on (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA or DUO) set up in order to log in.
- Enroll in Direct Deposit. Enroll through the UCPath Portal. To learn how to sign up for Direct Deposit, go here. Employees who do not enroll in direct deposit will have their pay checks mailed to their permanent address on file with the University via the U.S. Postal Service.
- Complete the CA State W-4 (DE-4) Tax Information. When you have access to TRS (see Step 4), you'll then need to log in to the UCPath Portal to complete your W-4 online. To learn how to access the W-4, download instructions here.
The following employees are NOT required to complete the CA State W-4 (DE-4):
- Employees with an Employment Authorization Card (EAD card) - exception: DACA students
- Foreign Visitors on F1 or J1 visas
- Pending U.S. Permanent Residents
- Refugee & Asylee Status
Sign Up for Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit electronically transfers your payments to your bank account while keeping your payroll information strictly confidential. Student employees are encouraged to establish a Direct Deposit on the UCPath Portal for quicker access to funds. However, you may continue to use residential addresses for receiving paper paychecks but these will be mailed via U.S. Postal Service on pay day and will take additional time to reach you.
Sign up for Direct Deposit through the UCPath Portal once you have been notified by LHR that your paperwork has been processed and you have access to TRS (see Step 4). To learn how to sign up for Direct Deposit, go here.
