Winter Break Pay Distribution

Pay Distribution

Weekly Pay Immediately Prior to Winter Break

Weekly pay for the work week ending December 16 will be paid on Wednesday, December 23.

Paper paychecks and direct deposit paper pay stubs (for those on direct deposit that have not elected electronic confirmation) will be delivered to departments for pick up/distribution on December 23; direct deposit will be available to individual's accounts.

Paychecks and paper pay stubs not picked up in departments on December 23 will be kept in departments for pick up/distribution on Monday, January 4. Departments must ensure that these paychecks and paper pay stubs are secured in locked locations until that date.

Weekly and Semi-Monthly Pay During Winter Break

Pay for the work week ending December 23 and pay for the semi-monthly period ending December 30 will be paid on Wednesday, December 30. This is the last paycheck of the calendar year 2009 Form W-2 reporting period.

Paper paychecks will be mailed to the employee's permanent address as reported in MySlice on Wednesday, December 23. These paper paychecks, which will be dated December 30, will be mailed via US Postal Service to be received on or before December 30.

Employees who have not signed up for direct deposit and will therefore receive a paper paycheck should ensure their permanent address is accurate by going to MySlice under Personal Services, View/Update Addresses. Any changes must be made by December 23.

Direct deposit for the December 30 payday will be available in individuals' accounts on Wednesday, December 30. Direct deposit pay stubs for those not receiving electronic confirmation will be available for pick up/distribution in the employee's department on Monday, January 4. Direct deposit pay stubs will not be mailed to the employee's permanent address as they can be accessed at any time on MySlice under Employee Services, HR/Payroll, View My Paycheck.

Weekly Pay Immediately After Winter Break

Pay for the work week ending December 30 will be paid on Wednesday, January 6. This is the first check of the calendar year 2010 Form W-2 reporting period.

Paper paychecks and paper pay stubs (for those on direct deposit that have not elected electronic confirmation) will be delivered to departments for distribution; direct deposit will be made to account(s).

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.
