Description of Service
This service provides faculty, staff, researchers, student employees, as well as scholarship and bursary recipients, with support related to payroll matters at the university.
The university uses a semi-monthly payroll frequency to pay its employees.
- Salaried Employees: Typically paid at the same rate on a continuing basis, working standard hours each week (term, permanent, seasonal etc. positions) and do not submit regular hours worked (exceptions: shift differential, OT, etc.); receive pay semi-monthly on the 15th and last working day of the month.
- Hourly/Casual Employees: Required to enter and submit their own hours online, which must be reviewed and approved by their supervisors for payroll processing; receive pay semi-monthly on the 21st and the 6th of the succeeding month.
An overview of a pay stub/pay statement for all employees (login required) is available in the knowledge base.
The university’s compensation model describes how starting salaries are determined, salary progression, performance-based pay and its market strategy. Salary range information for the various employment groups is also available online.
