If the employee works less than their normally scheduled hours, the hours not worked should remain coded as "Green Day" (435). For any time worked on a "Green Day" (435), an employee will be given an equal amount of paid time off to be used prior to July 1, 2010. This time, when used, should be coded as "Green Day" (435).

Payroll Frequently Asked Questions
- If I do not have direct deposit, how will I get my paycheck on December 30?
Paychecks will be mailed to your permanent address. You can verify your permanent address is accurate by going to MySlice under Personal Services, View/Update Addresses. Any changes must be made by December 23. - Where can I sign up for direct deposit?
Log onto http://myslice.syr.edu and select "View/Update My Direct Deposit" to enter your information. - Why might I not receive a paycheck at my home by December 30?
Several reasons could result in you not receiving your paper paycheck on or before December 30. Your permanent address in MySlice has to be correct as of December 23. For example, if you have moved and not changed the address, the paper paycheck will be delivered to the address per MySlice and either forwarded to your new address (if you have filed a change of address form with the U.S. Postal Service) or it will be returned to Payroll. Either case will result in potentially significant delays in your receipt of your paper paycheck. - What happens if my permanent address is incorrect in MySlice?
Since paper paychecks will be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, Syracuse University cannot control, track, or locate your paycheck once mailed. If you have filed a change of address form with the U.S. Postal Service to forward your mail, delivery of your paycheck will be delayed. If no such form has been filed, the paper paycheck will be returned to Payroll. Either case will result in potentially significant delays in your receipt of your paper paycheck. - How do I change my permanent address?
Log onto http://myslice.syr.edu and select "View/Update Addresses" under Personal Services. - If I receive my paper paycheck before December 30, can I cash/deposit it?
No. Paychecks will be dated December 30, 2009 and will not be valid prior to that date.
- What happens if I don't receive my paper paycheck?
If you have not received your paycheck by December 31, you can call Payroll at (315) 443-4042, option 2, and leave a message with the following information:- Indicate that you did not receive your paycheck,
- Give your name,
- Your SUID number,
- The name of the University department that you were expecting pay from,
- A non-work telephone number where you can be reached, and
- Your work telephone number.
Messages left at this number will be reviewed at various times during the day and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
- If my departmental administrator didn't input and approve the payroll by the deadline, can I get a special check for my pay?
No special checks will be issued during Winter Break. Departmental administrators are responsible to ensure time is input and approved by the deadlines.
