Payroll

The University is part of the The New York State payroll system operated by the Office of the State Comptroller. The NYS payroll schedule is based on a lag of two weeks; therefore new employees can generally expect their first paycheck somewhere between two and four weeks after their initial start date, depending on where the first day of work falls within the pay schedule
