4. Submit your application and complete an interview with the hiring department. If selected for a position, provide necessary employment eligibility documentation.

How to Get on Payroll

The following forms must be completed on the first day of employment. Most forms are accessed using Banner Employee Self-Service.

Paycheck Timing

It usually takes a month to receive your first paycheck. Pay periods run twice a month. Therefore, if you start work August 16, you will get your first check on September 16. This check will be for the time you worked August 16-31. Learn more about pay dates and holidays.

How to Complete Your Timesheet

You will complete a timesheet in Banner Self-Service and submit it online for your supervisor to approve. If you do not submit your timesheet online you will need to complete a manual timesheet in ink and have your supervisor sign off on the hours and send it in on your behalf.
