It is the practice of the Fayetteville campus of the University of Arkansas to deposit employee pay directly to a financial institution on behalf of the employee. Net pay can be deposited in up to ten separate accounts.  The accounts may be at the same financial institution or as many as ten different ones. In the event the employee does not have a financial institution the university offers a pay card option.    

If an employee is issued a paper check, the Treasurer's Office will mail the check no sooner than pay day to the home address listed in Workday.  

Employees who are in an extra help position will be paid in arrears (approximately two weeks after the hours worked have been completed) on the 15th (if the 15th falls on a Saturday, the pay date will be Friday; if the 15th falls on a Sunday, the pay date will be on Monday) and on the last working day of the month (working days are defined as Monday – Friday for this purpose). The pay period schedule is as follows; pay for work done on the 1st through the 15th is issued on the last working day of the month. Pay for work done on the 16th through the end of the month will be issued on the 15th of the following month.    

Payslips for employees are available in Workday after the payroll completion deadline.  Please refer to the payroll calendar regarding payroll deadlines.
