Workforce Administration update

Workforce Administration is a new system for UC Merced that will document an employee’s journey at the university – from hire to retire. The system will track every step of the journey and provide transparency by making it easier to access information about classification, recruitment, role changes, payroll processing, and other important data.


Orientation sessions and training on the system were scheduled to begin in spring 2019, with a gradual rollout through the summer and a goal of full implementation by this fall. Beta testing of the WFA system began in November 2018 with a small group of campus participants.


Based on feedback and suggestions from the campus pilot users, the WFA team decided to pause the rollout time frame.

The WFA team is assessing the system and making refinements and revisions. They also are using feedback on WFA’s training platform to improve that experience.


The reassessment of the WFA system affirms the team’s commitment to provide the university with the best possible tools for managing UC Merced’s most valuable resource: its people.


Updates about Workforce Administration will be provided as soon as they are available. Please visit the project site page for more information.
