Pay Timing in November and December Reminder
Moving forward, the University will follow the normal payment schedule in the weeks before Thanksgiving and the Special Winter Vacation. Penn faculty and staff will now receive regular, steady payments based on actual time worked, week-to-week or month-to-month, regardless of the season. This payment schedule eliminates the two- or six-week gap in payments.
For weekly paid staff, the Thanksgiving week payment date is Friday, November 25, 2016. The fourth pay in December is Friday, December 30.
For monthly paid faculty and staff, the last pay date of this calendar year is December 30.
| Weekly Paid Staff | Monthly Paid Faculty and Staff | |
| November | Thanksgiving week payment date: Friday, November 25, 2016, the day after Thanksgiving |
Payment date: November 30, 2016 The schedule change does not affect payments for this month. |
| December | Weekly payments throughout the month on Fridays, beginning December 2 and ending December 30, 2016 |
Payment date: December 30, 2016 |
| January | Weekly payments throughout the month, beginning January 6, 2017 |
Payment date: January 31, 2017 The schedule change does not affect payments for this month. |
This change to the payment schedule is grounded in thorough research and attentive discussions with Business Administrators and others across the University schools and centers.
