<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Note to supervisors of biweekly paid employees</b>: Timesheets must be approved by
<b>10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 16</b>. If an employee is unable to submit a timesheet, supervisors are responsible for creating a timesheet on the employee’s behalf.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note, if biweekly paid employees do not create and submit a timesheet by the deadline, the UCPath payroll system will not generate a paycheck in time for the Jan. 2, 2025 (Thursday) pay date.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MINIMUM WAGE</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The amount of California’s minimum wage increase is dependent upon the outcome of Proposition 32. Once the results of Proposition 32 are finalized, Human Resources will move forward to ensure rates are increased for all impacted employees.
An updated 2025 Student Assistant Pay Schedule will become available after the minimum wage determination has been reached. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any adjustments above the new approved minimum rate will require the submission of a <a href="https://bfs.ucmerced.edu/form/student-rate-change">Student Rate Change</a> request.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Students may not begin working until they have received a “Clear to Work Notice” from Student Employment Services. This notice is verification that the student has completed all necessary employment documents required by federal and state
law(s). The student’s direct supervisor is copied on the notice. Failure to complete all applicable hiring documents before stating service may result in delay of pay to the employee and risk of fines and/or penalties to the employing department. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>DATA ACCURAC</b>Y<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please ensure that the information being submitted on webform requests accurately reflect the employee’s information. We are seeing many forms that appear to contain auto filled information that may be the requestor’s information and not
the employees. To avoid unnecessary delays, please double check the form data before submitting. If information is inaccurate, the submitter will be asked to complete the form again. Please be particularly mindful of the employee’s previously established
Employee ID number (NOT student ID number), position number (unless a new hire) and email address. <o:p></o:p></p>
