Your Paycheck

Paydays

See Calendars to view the Master [pdf] and Student Payroll Calendars [pdf].

Please Note: Bonuses and Stipends are issued separately from your base paycheck.

Special consultants, as well as special/winter session and substitute faculty, are paid when proper documentation including invoices are submitted, approved and processed.

Paycheck Distribution

University employees that have not yet enrolled in Direct Deposit, and thus have paper checks, may pick up their checks in person at their convenience in the Administration Building, Room 177.

To pick up your paycheck you must have your Tower Card or ID.

Paycheck distribution hours:

Faculty and Staff* Student and Hourly Staff*
9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

*Refer to the Master/Monthly [pdf] and Hourly and Mid Month [pdf] calendars for exact paydays.

Daily paycheck pickup (other than the paydays as stated in the above calendars) are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.

We continue to encourage the use of Direct Deposit and Cal Employee Connect as your pay will then be directly deposited into your designated bank account without delay on paydays. You will also have access to electronic pay statements and W2s and can easily change your W2 withholdings. (Please note that when you sign up for Direct Deposit it will take approximately 45 days for it to begin.)

If you have questions about your paycheck, the sign-up process for Direct Deposit and/or Cal Employee Connect, please contact your Payroll/Personnel Transaction Services (PPTS) representative.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact University Personnel at university-personnel@sjsu.edu or 408-924-2250.
