Overview

---

 This article describes how to complete a Payment Compass Registration. 

• All new Payees, except Employees, wishing to do business with UC San Diego must register in PaymentWorks instead of Payment Compass as we have switched payee registration platforms.
• Payment Compass is now only for proxy registrations - meaning employees can register payees who cannot register themselves in PaymentWorks.

Essential Information

• Any Employee, including Student Employees, wishing to update their remittance information should verify their information is correct in UCPath.
• Refer Payees to the IPPS Payment Compass Page.
• Departments can access the FAQ page for additional guidance on how to fill out the Registration form.
• UC San Diego Students should not be invited to Payment Compass.

Proxy Registration Process

• Disclosing a relationship is not disclosing a conflict.
• The purpose is to identify any Employee-Supplier (EVRD) Relationships that would potentially cause a conflict of interest.
• The Supplier set up team will review the Payee set up request to ensure the relationship is not in conflict.
• If a Payee discloses an Employee-Supplier (EVRD) Relationship, the Registration will be sent to the IPPS EVRD team for review, which takes 2-3 business days.
• If a Supplier discloses an Employee-Supplier (EVRD) Relationship, the Registration will be sent to the IPPS EVRD team for review and an automatic email is simultaneously issued to the Department Requestor requesting additional documentation.
  
  • All forms plus a statement of work, proposal, or quote are required for an internal review.
  • Missing documentation, incomplete forms, inaccurate information, missing employee, former employee, and/or Department Head signatures, will increase the review time.

Conflict of Interest (COI)

1. For Non-PO Registrations, Payees/vendors should review the statement (or the department should reach out if doing a proxy registration) and either select the top option ("I certify") or the botton option ("I cannot certify").
   • Not being able to certify does not disqualify payees/vendors from doing business with the University, but we will need to reach out and ask a few questions before processing the registration.
2. A conflict of interest can be defined as being any of the following situations:
   
   • An existing University employee
   • A former University employee
   • An immediate family member of a current employee
   • A company owned in part by a current employee
