First, you should contact your department office to see if they
received your paycheck. If they didn’t, ask them if they
prepared and submitted a salary authorization and sent it to the
payroll department by that month’s deadline. If your award
offer was made or if your acceptance was received after the payroll
deadline for that month (typically the 15th of the month) there
was not enough time to process your check. If your department
processed your salary authorization and submitted it by the deadline,
ask your department to contact the payroll office on your behalf
to investigate. Some possible payroll department problems that
might hold up your paycheck include:
You may not have filled out all needed payroll/employment documents,
including an I-9 form. If you are an international student but
do not have a social security card you must get one and present
it to BOTH the payroll office for your paycheck, and to the Office
of the Registrar so that your number may be placed on your records.
