Paychecks

I have a question about my pay, who do I contact?

What is my vacation and personal leave balance?

  • Balances are maintained for non-exempt employees only. This information is provided on your pay stub. You can also contact your Department Time Keeping Coordinator (the person responsible for submitting time sheets) or Employee.Information.Services@Dartmouth.EDU

When are checks and direct deposit stubs mailed?

  • Non-Exempt Biweekly Staff - One day prior to payroll date, to be received on Friday payroll date.
  • Exempt Monthly - One day prior to payroll date which is the first of each month. If the 1st is on a Saturday or Sunday payroll will be mailed out on Thursday to be received on Friday.
  • Non-Exempt Bi-weekly Student - One day prior to payroll date, to be received on Friday payroll date.

If checks are mailed early due to a holiday, can I cash the check prior to the payroll date?

  • The check date will remain the same as the actual payroll date. Checks that are mailed early can not be cashed until the payroll date.

How do I get a replacement check if I lost my pay check?

  • To stop payment on a payroll check you will need to complete a stop payment form with the EIS/Payroll Office. A re-issued check will be issued after a stop payment is placed.

When can I expect my payroll that is direct deposited to be in my bank account?

  • The money will be in your account on your actual payroll date. If the payroll date is a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday the money will be in your account the next business day. Please remember that Automatic Teller Machines can be updated one - two days after the transaction date.
 Biweekly payroll
  • The first payroll after you requested direct deposit the pre-note process takes place. This process submits your account information only to the bank, no money is transferred resulting in an actual CHECK for this period. The second payroll money is transferred to your bank account. You will receive a NON-NEGOTIABLE STUB showing the amount of your direct deposit.
Monthly payroll
  • For employee's that are paid on the monthly payroll if you submit your request for or change to direct deposit by the middle of the month your direct deposit will be in effect for your next payroll. During the middle* of the month a special pre-note process is submitted. If you miss the deadline for the special pre-note, your account will be pre-noted on the first of the following month requiring two payroll's before your direct deposit will be in effect. * Please refer to the Human Resource and Payroll Schedule on the Payroll web page at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~control/payroll/ to get the exact deadline date. Please also monitor the Controller's Office Bulletin, or Human Resource's Bulletin as these deadlines can be frequently updated.

How many bank accounts can I direct deposit my payroll to?

  • You can deposit your pay into two bank accounts. These accounts can be with the same or different banks.

I lost my pay stub, can I get another copy?

  • You can request another copy of your pay stub from the EIS/EIS/EIS/Payroll Office. You must indicate the payroll date you are requesting. The EIS/Payroll Office can mail you the copy or you can pick it up at the office.

Why are some deductions not withheld from the third check of the month for Non-Exempt Bi-weekly paid employees?

  • There are 26 pay periods each calendar year. Benefits and most voluntary deductions are divided over 24 pay periods, thus causing deductions not to be withheld on the third check of the month. This occurs twice each year. Supplemental Retirement Contributions are withheld from all 26 pay periods.

Can you explain the pay stub?
