The University pays wages biweekly on Friday. Should the regular payday occur on a holiday, the payday is the last working day prior to the holiday. Direct deposit services and an electronic copy of paychecks are available online via an online employee portal. Employees who do not elect to receive direct deposit may opt for a Paycard.
Payroll deductions can be voluntary or involuntary:
Involuntary deductions are those mandated by a government agency, as well as any court orders, liens, or wage assignments that the law may require RVU to recognize. These may include but are not limited to, federal, state, and local tax withholding, unemployment taxes, FICA taxes, Medicare, State Disability Insurance, child support, garnishments, and other deductions as required by law.
Voluntary deductions are authorized by employees when they enroll in programs or services. Examples include but are not limited to, direct deposit to a financial institution, health insurance (i.e., medical, dental, vision), additional life and/or disability insurance, retirement plan (401k), and other offered benefits or services elected. Employees are responsible for reviewing each paycheck/direct deposit and promptly notifying RVU’s payroll department if they believe there is an error in a paycheck/direct deposit.
RVU reserves the right to modify pay periods as needed for the benefit of employees and the University.
