Welcome to the Payroll Website

Because the Payroll & Benefits Office is responsible for processing all payrolls and maintaining the related attendance and benefits records, every employee has contact with this office at some point in their service at the University.

Therefore, we have tried to include as much information as possible at this website to assist you with your payroll and/or benefits questions. If you cannot find the information you are seeking, please feel free to contact us by e-mail or telephone.

Oil Benefit Program 2011
This year, the Worcester Consortium's oil purchase program is provided by Alliance Oil. There is no deadline to sign up. Specific prices for oil are not included in the program since the price of oil changes continuously. However, there are 2 options from which you may choose: the Protected Price Option and the Market Price Option. Please refer to the flyer for details, promo codes, and contact numbers. Please note that this program is operated by Alliance Oil, not the Consortium. All questions, concerns and issues are between the employee and Alliance. The Consortium and its employees are not liable for this program. As always, you should research prices and other offers before deciding if this program is the best option for you and your circumstances.
