Use this Create UKG Attributes job aid to create attributes for brand new employees, external transfers, and secondary appointments in a new state entity that are utilizing UKG for time reporting and tracking. CORE Payroll has replicated the legacy attribute screens and processes to support system interfaces and data sharing between UKG and the CORE Payroll application.
Refer to these additional job aids for more information:
Before you begin, make sure:
You have the employee ID for the individual whose attributes you want to manage.
You have all the correct and verified attribute information ready to be entered or updated.
Important Information:
Do not use this job aid if you are a business professional whose state entity utilizes an Human Resources Information System (HRIS). Instead, follow your internal processes to update this information.

Important Notes:
State entity professionals should copy and paste the information into these fields directly from their agency-specific business structure data to ensure the information does not error out in UKG. While incorrect information might validate in CORE Payroll, once the overnight sharing of data with UKG is completed, it will error out and the state entity professional will need to review the error report from MoveIt. Errors will take multiple days to rectify.
While only the Pay Rule Code field is marked with a red *, the following additional fields are required: BS & Home Job Effective Date, and Pay Rule Effective Date. CDHS Specific UKG Fields: only BS04
Note: The Pay Rule Code (numeric values) should be used instead of the Pay Rule Name as well as the Pay Rule Effective Date.
