Payroll

When am I getting paid?

An on-cycle check is when the employee gets paid on the set paydays (monthly or biweekly) by UCPath payroll calendar.  You can view the Payroll Calendar for both biweekly and monthly pay cycles in UCPath Online under Quicklinks > Payroll Calendars & Schedules > Payroll Calendar.

What if I didn’t get paid on time?

• If you are an hourly employee who missed your payroll deadline you have the option to select to be paid for those hours on the following pay date.

• If you are a salaried employee who is missing pay or an hourly employee who cannot wait until the following pay date due to financial hardship you may request to be paid via an off-cycle transaction.

• An Off-Cycle check is any payment that is not paid on the employee’s regular “on-cycle” pay cycle (either monthly or biweekly). This payment can be necessary when employees miss a significant amount of pay (e.g., missed time card, incorrect hours). All off-cycle transactions must be submitted by ProS payroll department and are manually processed by UCPath payroll department. Employees should expect payment within 5-7 business days and potentially longer during UCPath payroll production weeks.

Note: Off-cycle checks should only be requested under extreme circumstances and are not to be used regularly.
