12-Month Faculty and Administrators

Transition from Monthly to Biweekly Pay

12-Month Administrators and 12-Month Faculty

On April 26, 2025, 12-month administrators and 12-month faculty will transition from monthly to biweekly pay schedule.

Please note: 12-month faculty and administrators do not include 9- and 10-month faculty and administrators that choose to be paid in 12 monthly payments instead of 10. 

The University is transitioning from a monthly to biweekly pay schedule for several reasons:

• Employee Benefits: Several benefits to university employees.
• Best Practice: Many universities have transitioned to biweekly payrolls, and many local companies pay weekly.
• Consistency: Reduces variations in payroll and benefit deductions, enabling clearer communication with employees, new hires, and candidates.
• Efficiency: Enhance efficiency will allow Human Resources to allocate more time to addressing other important needs of all employees.

Benefits of a Biweekly pay cycle:

• Faster Access to Funds: Employees receive pay more frequently.
• Quicker Access to Accounts: Biweekly deposits into Health Savings and Dependent Care accounts.
• Retirement Contributions: Biweekly contributions allow for investments to begin sooner.
• Faster Payment Corrections: Missed or corrected payments are included in the next check, rather than waiting for the next monthly cycle.
• New Employees: First paycheck arrives sooner!
