Part I — Earlham Benefits

Section 1
Payroll and Compensation

  1. Teaching and Administrative Faculty are paid on the last business day of each month. Staff employees are paid every other week on Friday. In the event that the normal payday is a holiday, then an alternative payday will be announced in advance.

  2. No contract or offer of employment is valid until approved in advance in writing by the Provost, the Vice President for Financial Affairs, the Dean of ESR or the Assistant Vice President for Business Operations.

  3. By federal law, no employee may begin work or be paid until his/her employment status and employment eligibility has been certified by the Business Office. In order to receive a paycheck, the faculty member must return a signed contract to the President’s Office. Staff employees must submit a properly filled out timeslip signed by their supervisor.

  4. The College fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. For full-time faculty, salaries are paid in twelve equal monthly installments beginning with the last business day of July. A teaching faculty member who resigns prior to the start of classes and who has been paid for July and August will reimburse the college for the gross amount paid.

  5. Each faculty member’s contract stipulates title, gross salary, length of contract and a summary of major benefits provided. A staff wage letter notifies staff of their new wage rates for the next fiscal year. Eligibility for benefits ceases on the last calendar day of the period covered by the contract or employment period.

  6. For staff employees, the new wage rate takes effect on the first payday in the new fiscal year, i.e. the first payday in July. For faculty, the new salary takes effect on the date stated as the first paydate in the contract.

  7. Paychecks may be picked up in person in the Accounting Office, mailed to an on-campus mailbox, mailed to a home address or deposited electronically in the employee’s bank account. Checks mailed to home addresses may not arrive by the actual paydate, i.e. the last business day of the month for faculty and Friday paydays for staff employees.
