Future Dated Funding
In PPS, a FOAPAL element (e.g. fund code) cannot be used on a funding distribution until it is active. So future dated elements are not allowed in PPS.
UCPath will support future dated FOAPAL elements, allowing users to create future dated funding entries. For example, if a fund code for a new grant is set up in advance in FIS, the unit will be able to create the position funding entry in UCPath, as long as the effective date of the entry is equal to or later than the effective date of the fund code.
New Account Codes
Units will see several new payroll-related account codes on their ledgers when UCPath transactions post.

Salary/Benefit Liens (Encumbrances)
UCPath does not provide the functionality for Salary or Benefit Liens. With the last full Payroll posting from PPS (December 2019), all salary and benefit liens will be liquidated, and will no longer be computed.
Local creation and posting of payroll liens may be possible in the future. Once UCPath integration has stabilized and any ledger-affecting issues addressed, investigation on locally computed liens (and assessment of campus need) will occur.
Composite Benefit Rate
A major change with UCPath is the introduction of the Composite Benefit Rate, which combines most benefit expenses into a single percentage rate calculated against an employee’s gross salary. Full information about the Composite Benefit Rate, and assessments it includes and excludes are available on Planning & Budget's Composite Benefit Rate web page.
