Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do adjunct faculty get paid so late after we start teaching?

A: It takes a couple of weeks to be sure that the class will continue running. Then, contracts must be signed and turned in. By this time, the first payroll of the semester has been “missed”. Then, several hundred contracts are processed within a short period of time and are paid on the next (2nd) payroll of the semester. This is usually a month after the first classes have begun, but divided evenly over the remaining period of time, generally on the 7th and 22nd of the month.

Q. What if I don’t have a computer to print my emailed direct deposit slip?

A. You may go to a library, lab or check with your department. You can access both email types by logging into www.slcc.edu. For Outlook, choose Faculty & Staff, Web Outlook and for MyPage emails, log into MyPage and choose email.

Q: What if the payroll closed before I could submit leave time?

A: Enter the time on the following payroll on a Saturday or a Sunday. Then press the Comments button to report which days were actually taken. Originators (entering other employees’ time) can select Comments from Options menu. Approvers can see “Comments Exist” on PHADSUM and click View/Enter Comments.

Q: How are overtime and working holidays for part-time employees entered and calculated?

A: Employees work overtime if they have exceeded 40 hours between a given Saturday and the following Friday. The overtime hours are entered with the code OVT on the time sheet. If part-time employees work on a holiday, the hours are entered with the H1 code. In both cases, the actual hours worked are submitted, then the computer calculates time and a half pay.

Q. What if I didn’t receive my check?

A. It takes about a week to replace a check, depending on when the payroll or adjustment payroll is running. Tip: You might consider Direct Deposit.
