Essential Payroll Information

It is the employee's responsibility to complete the Employee Time Sheet by Thursday afternoon before Friday payday.  The manager should approve it the following day and ensure that it is recieved at College Station no later than Monday 4:30pm either in person, via courier or emailed to ccit_hr-L@clemson.edu. Late time sheets sometimes miss the processing deadlines and are paid out 2 weeks late.

The pay period at CU starts on a Friday (payday). The Payroll Calendar marks the pay periods and their respective pay dates. Paydays are bi-weekly every other Friday. For Current employees (pay groups 12A, 9MA and FED), the pay is current through the Thursday before payday. For Lag employees (pay groups 12H, 12L and INT), who have a two-week lag, the pay is current through the Thursday two weeks prior to payday. As of 12/21/01, all new hires (except 9-month employees) are on a two week lag.

Pay Stubs are available online through CUBS. Please review the Handout - Online Pay Stubs for New Hires for more information.

FAQ

A: It a federal requirement for some employees. It depends on the position's FLSA status. All employees that are non-exempt have to fill out a time sheet.

Employees that are usually exempt from overtime pay or comp time are supervisors, managers and upper administration.
