Salary Payments

Revised April 2020

For nonexempt hourly staff:

Payday normally falls on the 10th for work performed from the 16th to the end of the month, and the 25th for work performed from the 1st to the 15th of the month. When the pay date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, payday advances to the previous Friday. When the pay date falls on an observed holiday, payday advances to the previous day in which the university is open for business.

For exempt salaried staff:

Payday normally falls on the 30th of each month for work performed during that month. When the date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, payday advances to the previous Friday. When the pay date falls on an observed holiday (with the exception of the December payday), payday advances to the previous day in which the university is open for business.

Compensation for salaried employees covers the entire month. To comply with the American Job Creation Act of 2004 which revised the Internal Revenue Code 409A, faculty and exempt staff pay plans are determined by the PLU administration and are administered by Human Resources.
