Note:  The deadlines on the payroll calendars indicate the last day that any hires, compensation changes, terminations, and any other transactions must be completed (not initiated) in order to ensure that they are included for the pay date for that period.  Any transactions that are initiated or completed after the Data Entry & Approval Deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the pay date for that period.  All payroll inputs and manual adjustments for the period are also due by the deadlines. 

If an employee has been overpaid by the University, it is considered a legal debt and must be repaid in full.

Paper Check Distribution

If you have not set up direct deposit, your paper check will be mailed to your address on file on payday.   Check pickup will no longer take place at Carruthers Hall.  If you do not receive your check in the mail, you will need to wait 10 business days before a request is made to re-issue the check.  However, if you enroll in direct deposit, we can void the check and re-issue as a deposit.
