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.
