Mid-Month Payrolls
The two mid-month payrolls are both paid on the 15th of the month. If the 15th of the month falls on a holiday or weekend, both mid-month payrolls will be paid on the last working day prior to the 15th of the month.
These are called "lag payrolls" because they are paid for time worked the previous month. A monthly recap letter is sent to all the departments reminding them of deadlines and providing new payroll information.
One mid-month payroll pays hourly undergraduate and graduate students and temporary staff employees. Job assignments for students and temps must be entered into the Electronic Personnel Action Forms (EPAF) by the 26th of the prior month and approved by the 28th.
Jobs not entered by these deadlines will not appear on recap sheets and will be paid on the next mid-month payroll. Recap sheets are run during a nightly process on the 15th and 29th of every month. They are then sent by email to the designated person in each department.
Please contact Human Resources if you need access to your department's recap sheet.
The second mid-month payroll includes payouts for employees who have left UNCW or new permanent employees who began work the last half of the previous month but were not included in the end of month payroll.
If you have questions concerning undergraduate student or temporary employees, please contact Human Resources.
End-of-Month Payroll
The end-of-month payroll pays all permanent staff and faculty and temporary faculty on the last working day of the month. Any changes to benefits, deductions or tax withholding must be received in the Payroll Department by the 15th of the month. Any changes received after that date will go into effect on the following month's payroll.
If you have questions concerning graduate student employment, please contact the Graduate School.
