Payment of Wages
When and How Students are Paid
How often will I be paid?
The State System of Higher Education pays all employees on a biweekly basis (every other week). The two-week pay period begins on a Saturday and ends on a Friday. Compensation due for a given pay period is paid to employees two weeks after the end of the pay period. Your supervisor will be able to provide you with exact pay periods and pay dates.
Note: If you have multiple jobs on campus, hours worked for all positions will be paid on the same check.
How will I be paid?
All payments to employees will be made via direct deposit.
Direct Deposit of Net Pay
What is direct deposit and how can it benefit me?
Direct deposit allows the State System to automatically deposit your pay directly into your checking or savings account at a financial institution (bank, credit union, savings, and loan). On Monday of pay week you can view your earnings statement in ESS. The earnings statement contains the date of payment, gross and net wages, hours worked, taxes, deductions, etc.
All employees are required to sign up for direct deposit. Benefits of direct deposit are:
- You have instant access to your money on payday, no matter where you are;
- You do not have to be at work on the payday to be paid;
- It eliminates the danger of losing a paycheck or having it stolen before you get to the bank;
- The convenience of not rushing to the bank and waiting in line every payday.
To sign up for direct deposit, bring the direct deposit form, a canceled/voided check or a copy of a check to Payroll Services, 1st floor Dilworth Building, with Photo ID. If a canceled/voided check is not available, a screen shot from your banking app with the account and routing number will suffice.
