A top priority for the Payroll team is ensuring accurate and timely pay. To provide for a transparent payroll process and facilitate clear instructions, the University Controller’s Office (UConO) has created the new Payroll Guide for Employees. This comprehensive guide provides essential information to help NC State employees better understand payroll and employment taxes, direct deposit requirements and instructions, deductions and other related topics. This guide consolidates documentation and information from various sources into a single, easy-to-use reference. In addition, this new learning resource eliminates the need to search multiple web pages or documents for payroll-related information.

The Payroll Guide for Employees is one of three guides in the payroll series. The other two are:

Consolidated Pay Schedules

Pay schedules for employees and for department HR Leads have also been consolidated into functional spreadsheets that contain all schedules for the year in a single tab. These can be accessed through the Payroll and Employment Tax page.

Learning Resources

As a reminder, all learning resources can be located in the Finance Division Education and Communications website > All Learning Resources table.
