The Baskin Engineering Payroll Analyst said that I don't qualify for benefits during my payroll onboarding, but I am a graduate student. Why is this?
UC Student Health Insurance (UC SHIP) or Graduate Student Health Insurance (GSHIP) is separate from payroll benefits coverage. Even though your appointment does not qualify for payroll benefits coverage, you will still receive/are still eligible for your student-related health insurance benefits.
What is a CruzID for, and how do I get one? How do I get a @ucsc email?
Your CruzID gives you access to campus services and systems and is also your @ucsc email (e.g., if bananaslug is the CruzID; bananaslug@ucsc.edu is the email).
For non-students, your Baskin Engineering Payroll Analyst sends in the CruzID Account Request form after your onboarding appointment. You will receive an email with instructions on how to claim and activate your CruzID and set up your password.
Students receive their @ucsc email when they register at UCSC.
What is CruzPay? How do I know if I am required to complete a timesheet? Why am I getting reminders to submit a timesheet?
CruzPay is UCSC’s online time reporting system. Information about your CruzPay account will be sent to your @ucsc.edu email if you are required to submit a timesheet.
Please go to the Baskin Engineering Payroll CruzPay - Online Time Reporting web page for further details, such as what to report on your timesheet, when to submit your timesheet, automated reminders, CruzPay Quick Start Guides, and more.

How do I get my employee ID number and my employee ID card? What is my employee ID number or card for?
The employee ID number is used to access campus copiers, printers, and scanners and is used in systems across campus. Log on to your UCPath dashboard to find your new employee identification (ID) number located directly below your name on the top left side of the screen.
Your employee ID card can give you access to certain rooms, upon key request. Your Baskin Engineering Payroll Analyst sends the request for your new employee photo ID card (non-student employees only) after you complete your employment paperwork. Your employee ID number and instructions on how to get your employee photo ID card are sent to you shortly thereafter. Use the employee ID card for identification and electronic key card access as appropriate.

How do I update my tax withholdings?
