On July 18, 2021, the UW System is converting all employees currently paid on a monthly basis to a biweekly pay cycle. As a result of this change, the last monthly check received by employees on July 30th, 2021 will be less than previous monthly paychecks. Specifically, this paycheck will cover July 1, 2021 through July 17, 2021 for annual contract employees. The paycheck covering the pay period lasting from July 18th, 2021 through July 31st, 2021 will be paid to employees on August 12th. To assist employees with any personal financial issues associated with the implementation of this pay schedule change, the UW System is establishing an interim policy to allow employees to make a request for a one-time salary advance which is repaid via payroll deduction over the following six pay periods in calendar year 2021.
