CHANGES
If you have moved, would like to make adjustments on your tax allowances, etc. please contact the HR/Payroll Office. (See below for contact information.)
CONTRACTS (Adjuncts)
- All contract CONTENT questions should be directed to the head of the department/school that has asked you to teach.
- All contracts must be signed and returned to the Academic Dean's Office (c/o L. Blanchfield) or the Seminary (depending on where you're working). From there your contract(s) is forwarded to the HR/Payroll Office so that payment can be made.
- You will need to complete tax forms only one time. See "Just Starting" below.
- If your class is cancelled or the numbers are reduced, the school you are teaching for will contact you, the Academic Dean's Office or Seminary (depending on where you're working), and the Registrar's Office so everyone is made aware of the change. Then, the Academic Dean's Office or Seminary contacts HR so adjustments can be made to your paychecks.
PAY SCHEDULE (Adjuncts)
All adjuncts are paid on a semi-monthly basis. Paydays are on the 15th and the last day of the month. Should either of these days fall on a Saturday or Sunday, you will be paid on the Friday before the weekend.
Payment schedules are determined on when the contract arrives in the Human Resources Office. (See Contract info above for the process.) Once it has arrived, AND ALL THE PROPER PAPERWORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED, the contract total is divided equally between the next payroll date and the closest payroll date after the contract end date. If a contract arrives in HR prior to the beginning of semester/quad in which you are teaching, the first payroll date will begin after a full pay cycle has been completed. For example, if a contract arrives in HR on August 15 for a fall semester class that begins on August 23, the first full pay cycle to be completed ends September 15 so that will be the date of the first paycheck.
Checks are sent to the address or box indicated on the Personnel Data Sheet. Should you like to make changes, please contact the HR Office at (773) 244-5602.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
AS A MATTER OF POLICY - ALL PART-TIME EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN DIRECT DEPOSIT.
Download Direct Deposit Form
(Adobe Reader is required to download this form. Get for free.)
The Direct Deposit Program allows you to have your wages automatically deposited in a checking and/or savings account of your choice (anywhere in the country) and available to you on the morning of payday. It will eliminate the worry of making a special trip to the bank on payday and waiting in a long line to get your paycheck deposited. It also eliminates the possibility of losing your check.
How it works
You may choose up to three (3) accounts, savings and/or checking, to have your pay directly deposited as long as the financial institution(s) of your choice is a member of the Automated Clearing House Association (ACH).
On payday you will receive a pay stub. This will give you the amount paid, taxes deducted, and to which bank(s) the money was deposited.
How to Sign Up
Once you have an account established at your bank, complete the "Authorization For Direct Deposit of Payroll" Form. This form can be picked up at the HR/Payroll Office, 3rd Floor Old Main. (Some banks also have direct deposit forms, which are also acceptable.) For verification purposes, attach one of your checks or deposit slips (marked "VOID") to your authorization form.
It will take approximately 3 weeks before your direct deposit can take place. In the interim, you will continue to receive a regular paycheck. Once your direct deposit has started, each payday you will receive a paystub.
Changing Banks or Closing Accounts
If you select a new bank, you must complete a new "Authorization for Direct Deposit of Payroll" form and submit it to the Human Resources/Payroll Office at least two weeks before the payday you want it to start.
Please notify the Human Resource/Payroll Office immediately before you close your bank account. This will avoid having your automatic deposit rejected and pay delayed.
E-MAIL/NPU WEB ACCESS
Once you have completed all
your paperwork and it has arrived in the HR/Payroll Office, you will need your employee ID number to set up your computer access and email. You may obtain your ID number by getting your ID card (see below under Identification) or by contacting HR. Once you have your number you may follow the instructions on the information sheet that you can download in this section . With this
in place, you have access to WebAdvsior
and Blackboard. These are
two tools for teaching and communicating with your students.
Employee Computer Information Instructions (pdf)
NOTE: It takes 24 hours from the time your initial employment paperwork is entered into the computer system at HR to when you are able to have your account activated. Also, course information will not be available until the Records & Registration Office assigns your name to the course you are teaching. Once you are assigned, it takes between 24-48 hours before you'll appear on Blackboard.
