Paycheck Information

Direct Deposit:

Employees are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit. Funds are automatically deposited to your bank account(s) each payday. Employees may elect to automatically deposit their pay to up to 3 bank accounts each pay period.

Employees can view and print their payslips for current and prior pay periods in Workday. These are generally available to view in Workday three days prior to payday.  Directions on finding Payslips for before December 24, 2020 can be found through here .

Paper Paycheck:

The default option for employees is a paper paycheck. With this option, it is the employee’s responsibility to physically cash or deposit the check to his/her bank account each pay period. Paper paychecks are delivered to the employee’s mailing address listed in Workday.  Paychecks are mailed out via US Postal Services 2 days before payday.  Employees are responsible for maintaining the correct mailing address in Workday.  Please ensure that your home address is updated and correct in Workday at least one week before pay date.

Pay Periods and Pay Dates:

All WSU employees will be paid semi-monthly and not later than ten (10) days after the pay period in which wages are earned except that if payday falls on a Sunday, they may be paid the following Monday (RCW 42.16.010).

Payday is normally the 10th and the 25th of the month. Pay periods are “lagged”, meaning the period worked or earned is not paid until ten (10) days later.
