- The Job Builder (JB) system, our new job description software, launched 6/4/24 for UC Davis Health, School of Medicine and School of Nursing.
An aspect of the new system is Job Description Acknowledgement (JDA), which replaces physically signing a job description with digitally acknowledging.
This is initiated by an email notification to the supervisor, then, following supervisor acknowledgement, an email to the employee to complete.
Emails from this address and the link contained within are safe.
Between 6/20/24-6/21/24 a large number of unintended JDA emails were triggered and sent. These emails (from 6/20/24-6/21/24) can be ignored, no action is required.
These JDA instances have been deleted from the system and the team has fixed the email trigger.
Any emails received to acknowledge a job description on or after 6/22/24 are legitimate.
Between 6/22/24-6/25/24, these emails displayed “Admin10@UCRegents.org” as the sending email address. These are legitimate.
These emails now come from “No reply email on behalf of JobBuilderAdmin@ucdavis.edu”.
Messaging was sent to targeted Job Builder users 6/21/24 regarding the issue, however, please share this communication as appropriate.
