If I have an employee who is leaving and I plan to re-fill the position, do I need to remove them from HCP?

If you have an employee who is leaving your unit and you plan to rehire for the position, you have two options for planning for the new hire compensation. You may use either option; it is not necessary to do both.

1. Reuse the existing plan data. Change the values on the Monthly Pay Rate tab to zero for the months you expect the position to be vacant. Put a note in the Comments field to indicate that the future plans are for the new hire.

2. Remove existing plan data and create a To Be Hired employee. Zero...

I have an employee in HCP who is no longer working for my unit. How do I remove them from my compensation plan?

You can remove an employee from your HCP compensation budgets by either zeroing out the employee's Monthly Pay Rate or the Earnings Distribution value on the Distributions tab of the Manage Existing Employees and Job Codes form. You will need to know the start month and year that they are no longer planned to be funded from the current entity.

If there are actuals for this employee they will continue to display in HCP and on the HCPRptg reports run for Actual Final and Forecast Working.

On the HCP001 report, what is the Actuals Journals at the end of the report?

When a transaction is done in a BFS journal outside of UCPath and we are unable to link a BFS transaction to an employee, HCP creates a member in the Employee dimension called “Actuals Journals.”

The Actuals Journals amount represents the actualized consolidated employee benefits for GAEL and UCRP Supplemental Assessment that are transacted in BFS at the DeptID level that cannot be attributed to an individual employee for the closed months.

How do I get access to the CalPlanning tools?

To get access to CalPlanning, contact your local CalPlanning Access Provider and request access. Each unit has a CalPlanning Access Provider who can submit a CalPlanning User Access Request Form to change type of access or provide new access.
