Payroll & Compensation

The Payroll staff strives to ensure the financial integrity of the university's faculty, staff and student compensation.

We are responsible for the areas of payroll operations pertaining to establishing and monitoring leave accruals, maintaining the employment history database, and processing disability payments, levies, and garnishments-all in compliance with federal, state, and CSU policies.

Update: Employee Pay Warrants dated January 1, 2012 and the 2011 Employee Social Security Tax Contribution Rate Reduction

Congress has passed and the President has signed into law the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (H.R. Bill 3765), for all wages paid through February 29, 2012 (a two month extension). Due to the late action of Congress, employee pay warrants dated January 1, 2012 were issued using the 6.2% social security rate and therefore offsetting adjustments are necessary.

Please see the FAQ’s regarding how the offsetting adjustments will be processed by the State Controller’s Office. Also, please continue to visit our website for future updates.
