Procedures for Managing Pay Data Documentation for New Hires
Implement our New-Hire Pay Data Policy to ensure smooth and accurate payroll processing for all employees.
According to this policy, nonexempt employees (hourly employees) should be paid weekly every Friday and exempt employees (salaried employees) should be paid semi-monthly on the 15th and last days of each month. Each paycheck for hourly employees should include earnings for all work performed through the end of the previous payroll period, and if a regularly scheduled payday falls on a holiday or weekend, employees should receive pay on the last day of work before the regularly scheduled payday.
