Getting Paid

To receive a paycheck, your supervisor must submit your hours worked to the Payroll Office through the web-based timekeeping system every two weeks. Note that Campus Dining, Facilities Management, and Postal Operations use an alternate method for reporting time. If you are employed by these departments, you must follow their established procedures.

Paychecks are issued on alternate Fridays for hours worked during the previous pay period. You can pick up your paycheck from your supervisor or have it directly deposited to your bank account by making arrangements with the Payroll Office (located on the lower level of the AGC Administrative Building).

If you wish to have your paycheck credited to your student account, be sure to make arrangements with the Student Accounts Office (checks are void 180 days after their date of issue).

To be paid, you must have a Social Security number, or proof that you have recently applied for a Social Security number. This is particularly important for international students. For more information, please visit the International Programs Office website.

As a student employee, you are not covered under Social Security, unemployment, or disability insurance. You are not eligible for holiday pay, sick leave, and/or vacation pay. However, students who are not enrolled in summer school and who work at the College during the summer break are covered under Social Security and disability.
