Templates are used for hiring, transferring, termination, retirement, and making updates to an employee's personal data and are initiated in the “Smart HR Transactions” component of UCPath. Each template provides the fields necessary to complete the transaction all in one place. Be sure to select the staff-specific version of the template you need to initiate.

Template transactions are initiated at the department level, approved in the department, and fulfilled by the UCPath Center; these templates do not route through UCSB's HR department.

NOTE:  Transactional users can find job aids, handouts, training slides, news, FAQs, etc. on the UCPath.UCSB.edu page.
