December Payroll Schedule

The University will be closed from Thursday, December 22, 2022 through Monday, January 2, 2023 for the holiday break. As a result, Payroll will need to change the December 2022 payroll schedule. These changes are necessary to ensure the completion of payroll processing around the holiday break.
