• Faculty/Staff Payday

  Effective with payroll checks issued after August 31, 2021, Student Financial Services (Cashiering) will be implementing changes to the state-side payroll distribution process. To return to compliance with the State Administrative Manual, we will no longer mail state-side payroll checks to employees. 

  Individual employees will be required to pick up their own paper check in person with a photo ID. We will no longer be supporting distribution to department representatives. 

  Pick-up of checks begins at 3:00 pm on any given payday in SSC 230.  Pay checks not picked up on payday will be held in Student Financial Services (Cashiering) for pick up during our normal business hours. 

  We strongly encourage employees to sign up for direct deposit as soon as possible.  Information on how to opt into direct deposit can be found by visiting https://www.csuchico.edu/hr/payroll/pdd.shtml(opens in new window).  

  In addition, the State Controller’s Office (SCO) no longer prints/mails paystubs.  Employees enrolled in direct deposit may view their pay stubs in Cal Employee Connect (CEC).  Information on how to access CEC and create an account can be found by visiting https://www.csuchico.edu/hr/payroll/cal-connect.shtml.
