Availability of Funds

Funds should be available to employees on the first banking day after the end of the pay period. For example, if the pay period ends on Thursday, your funds should be deposited and available on Friday. If the pay period ends on Friday, a weekend, or a holiday, your funds should be posted to your account on the next available banking day.  Saturday is not considered an official banking day for the purpose of posting funds to employee accounts. Refer to the Payroll Schedule and Holiday Calendar for Direct Deposit posting dates. While most financial institutions post funds to accounts at the beginning of the bank business day, this is not a universal practice. Some institutions post funds in the afternoon. It is strongly recommended that you check with your financial institution to determine when your funds will be available.
