The University of Arkansas is committed to paperless payroll for safety, efficiency and to support sustainability. Direct deposit is the university's standard method for paying employees. Your pay will be deposited in up to ten separate accounts of your choice.

Additional Direct Deposit option via PAY CARD! 

Pay Schedule

You will be paid semimonthly. Semimonthly pay means employees will be paid twice a month, usually on the 15^th and last business days of each month. Business days are defined as days other than weekends and university holidays. If the 15^th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, pay day will be on the Friday prior to the 15th.

There are two pay groups paid semimonthly.

1. Semimonthly arrears (hourly) pay group
2. Semimonthly current (salary) pay group
