UCPath has added a new emergency contact relationship type, “Contact if Detained/Arrested.” This option allows employees to designate a contact to be notified if they are arrested or detained at work. This contact may be the same as, or different from, their primary emergency contact.

Employees are encouraged to review and update their emergency contact information in UCPath as needed. Those wishing to designate a contact to be notified in the event of arrest or detention at work must do so within the UCPath portal.

Managers and supervisors should be aware of this new practice and, in the event of an employee’s detention or arrest at work, review UCPath and notify the appropriate designated contact.

If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Shiroma (KShiroma@chr.ucla.edu) or Emily Tunteri (ETunteri@chr.ucla.edu).
