Pay Statements
Where can I find my pay statements?
Current pay information, including pay statements and tax documents (e.g., W-2 form), is available in Workday. Visit My HR Toolkit for information on Workday, quick guides, and other resources for accessing pay documentation.
Why do I have Pittsburgh taxes deducted when I live outside of the city?
First, confirm that your primary address is updated in Workday and that you have submitted tax withholding elections with your current address. If your primary address in Workday is correct and you work in Pittsburgh, you will see Pittsburgh local withholdings on your pay statement.
To view your tax elections in Workday, choose "Pay" from the applications menu and then choose "Update Tax Elections" in the suggested links menu. This will open a new tab to the CIC+ EForms Center. There you can confirm that your residential and work address are correct.
When do I receive my pay?
CMU employees receive pay on a monthly, semi-monthly or biweekly pay cycle:
- Salaried faculty or staff members will receive pay on a monthly basis on the last business day of the month.
- Students who receive a stipend will receive pay on a semi-monthly basis on the 15th and the last business day of each month.
- Students or staff members who enter hours in Workday will receive pay on a bi-weekly basis every other Friday.
- Employees who work outside of the Pittsburgh campus have different pay schedules depending on the campus at which they work.
Refer to the Payroll Calendars webpage to find the exact pay dates for your pay cycle. If you have multiple positions, you can contact HR Service to ask about your pay frequency.
How do I set up direct deposit payment elections?
Direct deposit payment elections are managed in Workday, but are only available to those who already have a valid social security number in the system. Visit My HR Toolkit for more information, quick guides, and additional resources on managing payment elections.
If you have not submitted a valid social security number to the HR Service Center, you will be issued a paper paycheck.
I have a paycheck that was not deposited within six months. Can I still deposit it?
If a paycheck is not deposited within six months, the check will need reissued. Please contact the HR Services to start the process of reissuing the check.
