6. Why don’t deductions come out of the fifth weekly paycheck in a month?Why don’t deductions come out of the fifth weekly paycheck in a month?

Deductions are set up based on the four week months, so that in months with five pays, no deductions would come out of the last check. This keeps monthly total deductions even each month.

7. I am a student – why didn’t I get paid?

There could be several reasons. First, check with your employer to see if your time was submitted. If it was, then contact payroll to see if you were not paid due to your I9 form not being completed. You will be paid as soon as you bring proper identification to payroll and complete the form.

11. Can I get a copy of my pay stub?

Payroll does not have copies of your pay stubs. You should sign up for IPay through the ADP web site. Instructions can be found in Portfolio under personal profile. Then you will be able to print copies of your pay stubs and W2 forms. Additionally, if you have direct deposit you can request payroll turn off the printing of your stub and you can access it online instead.
