Employees of Texas A&M University-Commerce receive payments on the first state working day of the month for the completed previous month's work. Persons beginning work after the payroll is calculated will receive payment on the first bi-weekly payroll.

Employees appointed on a nine-month basis may elect to participate in the extended pay plan that deducts 12 1/2% or 25% of their net pay from each monthly check and is paid during the summer months. All deductions, including insurance payments for the summer months, are taken during the nine months. Participants must sign the request form each year before September 10.

Employees may choose to have their check direct deposited. An authorization form is available in the Payroll Office and must be completed by the banking institution and the employee.
