2026 Biweekly Payroll Schedule for Student Employees

This pay schedule applies to student employees, including students receiving stipends.

Unless otherwise noted, paychecks are issued on Fridays ("Check Date") and approvals must be submitted by the close of business on Fridays ("Department Approval Deadline"). Note that the first paycheck of 2026 is for time worked in 2025 (12/15-12/28/25).

Determining the Date of your First Paycheck as an Hourly Worker

The date of your first paycheck depends on which pay period your first day of work falls in. For example, if you begin working on 1/20/2026, your first day of work falls in the 1/12/26-1/25/26 pay period listed below and your first paycheck will be received on the check date 2/6/2026.
