How and When You Will Be Paid

Payroll Schedule – Employees are paid on a semi-monthly schedule with payroll issued on the 7th and 22nd of each month. Payment will be made by check or direct deposit.

Direct Deposit – Hartwick College offers direct deposit to any financial institution. You simply need to update your information in Paycom Employee Self-Service. You can view your pay information in the Paycom Employee Self-Service portal.

Payroll Checks – If you do not sign up for full direct deposit you will be issued a payroll check each pay period.

Recording Time Worked – Hourly, non-exempt employees must clock in and out each day at the beginning and end of their shifts, as well as clock in and out for their meal periods.

Time Cards – Hourly, non-exempt employees must approve their time card at the end of each pay period. Supervisors must approve timecards, generally on the 1st and 16th of each month according to the pay schedule.

Request for time off must be submitted in the Paycom system and approved by your supervisor.

All students eligible for work-study will be issued a Job Authorization form by the Financial Aid Office each year. This form must be completed by you and your supervisor and returned to the Financial Aid Office.

Students not eligible for work study may be eligible for departmental employment. An authorization form can be obtained from the Student Payroll Office. Completed departmental forms should be returned to the Student Payroll Office.

Students may work for more than one department during the school year. A job authorization form must be completed for each work-study or departmental employment position. When a student who has multiple jobs clocks in, they need to select the correct department to charge.

Students must not exceed the hours per week allocation on the Job Authorization form.

Students working at Hartwick College for the first time need to complete the following forms before beginning work. Links to all forms may be found above.

Payroll Checks – If you do not sign up for direct deposit you will be issued a payroll check each pay period.

Student payroll checks are delivered to the student’s campus mailbox during the semester.

If you do not want your check or direct deposit notice mailed to your home address for the pay periods, you should contact someone in the Student Accounts Office to let them know how you would like your check/deposit form handled.

One payment will be issued for each employee. If you hold multiple positions, earnings will be combined and one payment issued.

To request the deduction, the student must complete a payroll Deduction Authorization form with the Office of Student Accounts. Tuition deduction forms must be completed every year. They do not carry over.

There will be a $10.00 charge to replace a check that is stale dated (checks are void after 90 days) or damaged (you must bring in the original check). You should see someone in the Payroll Office to have a replacement check issued.
