Pay Periods and Paydays

 

Employees are paid twice a month - on the 15th and 30th for a thirty-day month and the 16th and 31st for a thirty-one day month.  Sometimes delays in receiving paychecks from the State Auditor's office or delays resulting from the postal service will cause employees to receive their paychecks later than the scheduled payday.  These circumstances are infrequent and are beyond the control of the Department.  Employees are encouraged to utilize the Direct Deposit system to minimize delays.  If a scheduled payday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, paychecks are issued on the Friday preceding the scheduled payday.
