Requesting a Rush Payroll Check


Each employee may request to have one emergency paycheck per fiscal year (July 1st-June 30th of the following year). It is against University policy to pay for services before they are rendered—in other words, your emergency check can be for as many hours as you have actually worked since the end of the preceding pay period, but no more than that. The Payroll Office will need timesheet information, as well as a completed rush check request form. Payroll checks require employee, supervisor and vice president signatures.

Once the request form is completed, hand deliver it to the Payroll Office on the 3rd floor of Weter Hall. If you are uncertain about whether or not you have submitted everything required to have a rush check processed, please ask at the Payroll Office before you leave.


Direct deposit of these emergency funds is the only option.
