New Update Option for Emergency Contact Information in UCPath





The recently revised Workplace Know Your Rights notice
<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/UC-Know-Your-Rights-Notice.pdf>,
which was shared with employees on February 1, 2026, detailed the "Right to
Designate an Emergency Contact" for situations where an employee might be
detained or arrested while at work.



Effective March 30, 2026, UCPath has added a specific emergency contact
relationship category: "Contact if Detained/Arrested". This update enables
staff to identify a person to be contacted specifically for work-related
detentions or arrests, which can be the same individual as their primary
emergency contact or a different person altogether.



Starting March 30, 2026, employees are encouraged to check their UCPath
emergency contact settings
<https://spwebserv.ucop.edu/SelfServiceUsers/PORjobaids/EMP110-UpdateEmergencyContacts.pdf>
and make any necessary updates if they wish to designate a contact for
arrest or detention scenarios.



We ask that you inform supervisors and managers about this new procedure.
It is now a requirement for supervisors and managers to verify UCPath
records and notify the designated individual if an employee is arrested or
detained.



Furthermore, all employees are encouraged to review their personal email
and home address information within UCPath to ensure the accuracy of their
records.
