Holiday Payday Information

December 8, 2014

Due to the Christmas holiday there are some changes to the regular payroll schedule that employees and student workers need to know, according to Debbie Schwartzkopf, payroll.

Monthly (exempt) employees must submit their time records by Wednesday, December 17, for the entire month of December, and will be paid on Tuesday, December 23. Note that monthly employees are being paid early and will not receive another check until January 30, 2015.

Semi-monthly staff employees must submit time cards by Monday, December 15 for the December 1-15 pay period and will be paid on Friday, December 19. Semi-monthly staff employees must submit time cards by Friday, December 19 for the December 16-31 pay period, and will be paid according to the usual schedule on Monday, January 5. Please note that most semi-monthly employees will have holiday time from December 24 through the end of the month as well as New Year’s day.

Student employee timecards for December 1-15 are due by Wednesday, December 17 so students can be paid on Tuesday, December 23. The following student payroll, for hours worked from December 16-31, is due on January 5, and will follow the usual schedule in January for payment on January 10. Please be sure to have all timecards submitted by employees so supervisors have time to approve them prior to the 9 a.m. deadline the morning after timecards are due.

The 2015 payroll processing calendars are available on the payroll webpage at http://www.up.edu/payroll/. Please note that, due to feedback from several student timesheet approvers, the approval deadline has been adjusted for 2015. Students will submit their timesheets a day earlier on most pay periods, and supervisors will have the extra day to insure the timesheets are approved by the 9 a.m. deadline. This gives approvers more than 24 hours to make sure all timesheets are completed and approved on time.

For more information, contact payroll at 8338 or payroll@up.edu.
