Policies & Procedures
Faculty Payroll
Pay Schedule
Pay dates are scheduled to be the last day of each month. In the event that a regularly scheduled pay date falls on weekend or holiday, the pay date is the last business day before the regularly scheduled pay date. For example, if the 30th of a month falls on a Saturday, faculty will receive their pay on the Friday the 29th (or the 28th if Friday the 29th is a University-observed holiday).
Pays can be in the form of checks or direct deposits, although all employees hired after 6/30/97 are required to be on direct deposit.
Deadline
A Personnel Action Form (PAF) should be submitted to the Provost Office by the cut off date in order to be considered for payment for that particular pay period. For example, the PAF should be submitted to the Provost office by 4/17/07 in order to be paid on the 4/30/07 pay date.
Please refer to the monthly payroll calendar to ensure that PAFs are turned in to the Provost Office by proper cut off dates. Click the link below to view the payroll schedule.
