WSSU to issue its own payroll checks.
Winston-Salem State University has begun transitioning its payroll system to its own Banner payroll process. WSSU is one of nine campuses in the University of North Carolina moving to this new electronic system with a Shared Services Center to manage banking, benefit premium payments and tax administration.
The new Banner process will be very different since most employees will eventually be using a computerized Web Time Entry (WTE) system for completing on-line timesheets that are then approved electronically. With the electronic system, employees must meet payroll deadlines for getting their timesheets to their approvers and the approvers then getting the timesheets to payroll for processing. Missed deadlines with the Banner payroll will mean missed paychecks for employees.
In addition to the timesheets, the new system will provide a self-service portal that allows employees to view pay stubs and W-2s online, with permanent employees also able to view up-to-date benefits and deduction information.
Students and temporary employees who are paid on an hourly basis have already moved from a monthly payroll to being paid bi-weekly. Students and temporary employees who are paid a flat salary will move from being paid on the 15th of the month to being paid on the last working day of the month beginning in October.
New permanent faculty hired for the Fall Semester will be paid on September 15 for July and August and then move to being paid on the last working day of the month. Adjunct faculty will move from being paid on the 15th of the month until September when they will be paid at the end of the month.
Current and permanent employees, which include SPA, EPA non-faculty and EPA faculty, will continue to be paid on the last working day of the month. Both permanent employees and adjunct faculty will be paid from the current payroll system until October when they will also move to the Banner Payroll.
