A. PAYDAYS

1. Exempt Employees

Exempt employees are normally paid their regular salary on the first workday of the month following the month worked. When the normal payday falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, payday will be advanced to the last working day before the weekend or holiday in all months except December.

2. Nonexempt Employees

Nonexempt employees are paid every two weeks, normally on the Friday following the end of the biweekly pay period. If this day is a holiday, payday will be moved to the last regular workday before the holiday.

3. Special Paychecks

Under hardship circumstances, an employee may obtain his or her check before the normal payday. Requests for this advance should be made by the employee to the Human Resources Department through his or her supervisor. Advance payments on anticipated earnings are not allowed.

4. Final Paychecks

1. A terminating employee may elect to pick up his or her final check after 3 p.m. on the termination date. See RPM §2.21(I) (Terminal Pay).

2. Final paychecks for deceased employees are normally made payable to the employee's estate, as required by state law.

B. PAYCHECK DISTRIBUTION

1. Choice of Distribution Method

Employees may have their paychecks distributed by electronic banking or delivered to their mailstop on payday. The choice is made at the time of employment and may be changed at any time using Form RL-6596 (Payroll Earnings Distribution Authorization).

2. Distribution by Electronic Banking

1. Employees may request the electronic deposit of their net earnings into a maximum of one savings and two checking accounts at any financial institution that participates in the Automatic Clearing House (ACH) interbank network.


2. A deposit advice slip is sent to each employee's current mail stop as listed in the personnel database.

3. Distribution by Division or Department Office

Regular payroll checks for employees are delivered by the mailroom to the employee’s mailstop the morning of payday.
