Payroll Services to Open on January 2nd to hand out Monthly Payroll Checks
The monthly payroll date of January 2, 2026 falls on a holiday when the university is closed for winter break, but Payroll Services is planning to open the office that day to allow employee pickup of monthly payroll checks. We are located in the Main building, room 4, and lobby hours on Friday, January 2, 2026 will be 9am - 4pm. Please bring a valid ID when picking up your payroll check. Any special instructions for accessing the Main building on that date will be posted here as soon as more information is available
Reminder: Opt In to Electronic Only Receipt of W-2 Forms
The University strongly encourages all employees to opt-in to electronic only receipt of their 2025 Form W-2. The electronic only form is securely and reliably delivered to you in Workday and helps saves trees. Opt-in for electronic only delivery by following these quick and easy steps. The electronic only Form W-2 will be available in Workday before the paper version must be mailed on January 31, 2026.
Simulate Changes to Pay with Model My Pay - posted 3/5/2024
Model My Pay is a tool within Workday to model hypothetical changes to one’s payslip. Users can make changes to earnings, deductions, and tax elections and run a simulation to view estimated impacts to their payslip. Model My Pay is only an estimate. It is not a comprehensive tool so some earnings and deductions are not available. As a result, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Model My Pay can be accessed in Workday by using the search box, using the Pay app, or can be directly accessed when viewing a payslip.
