Payroll Guidance from Interim Chief Human Resource Officer Vernese Edghill-Walden

Dear Unit and Department Leaders,

As previously communicated, we are sharing payroll guidance every two weeks.  This notification is to share information regarding the 7/1 to 7/15 hourly payroll and the 7/16 to 7/31 salaried payroll.

There is no change in guidance for this upcoming payroll cycle.  Please continue to follow the guidance communicated with the last payroll cycle.

Reminder of upcoming deadlines:

  • The link to the 7/1 to 7/15 Hourly summaries will be emailed on 7/14 and the summaries will be due by 4:30 p.m. on 7/16.
  • The link to the 6/1 to 6/30 Salaried Benefit Usage summaries were emailed on 6/29 and the summaries will be due by 4:30 p.m. on 7/16.

Reminder of the continued importance of record keeping of sick and vacation leave usage:

Please continue to do your best to collect the information on sick and vacation usage from your employees via email, scan or current timekeeping methods.  It is not necessary to print and collect signatures at this time.   HRS will not be collecting these records while employees are working remotely at this time. When we return to operations on campus, HRS will collect that information per normal procedures for recordkeeping purposes.

Reminder on FMLA reporting:

Any FMLA time reported by employees on the hourly timesheets or salaried benefit usage forms should be indicated in the FMLA column on the summaries.

Reminder on Salaried Benefit Usage summaries:

These summaries can be reviewed at any time after they have been shared prior to the deadline indicated.  Also, please be sure that even if there is no usage to report for your department, that someone is accessing and reviewing the spreadsheet prior to the deadline.

Please direct any questions to Payroll@niu.edu.

Thank you for your service to the NIU community.

Vernese Edghill-Walden
Interim Chief Human Resource Officer
