UC’s Office of General Counsel has determined that the university is not subject to California Labor Code, Sections 200-243 which requires employers to pay all wages due immediately upon separation.

It is also important to note that timely payment is contingent upon all employee timesheets being completed/approved and appropriate request for Termination/Final Pay has been submitted by department/unit to the Payroll Services team with sufficient time for processing with UCPATH Center.

After you leave UC, former employees  can continue to access past UC earning statements and W-2 forms through UCPath online with former employee access. Click here to find out more.
