Paydays
Payday is the 10th and 25th of each month, with these exceptions:
If the 10th or 25th is…
- a Saturday, you get paid the Friday before.
- a Sunday, you get paid the Monday following.
- a holiday falling on a Monday, you get paid the Friday before.
Hours you work from the 1st to the 15th are paid on the 25th.
Hours you work from the 16th to the end of the month are paid on the 10th of the following month.
To be paid on each of the semimonthly paydays, your time worked and Time Off must be entered, submitted, and approved by your Time & Absence Approver prior to the Timesheet Approval Deadline. If time submitted is approved in Workday after the Timesheet Approval Deadline, your pay for that time will be processed for the following payday.
