Generally, nine month faculty are paid for the academic year in 20 bi-weekly paychecks. There are six paycheck dates during the “summer” pay periods that faculty may not receive paychecks.
Each faculty member who elects to participate in the 9 Pay 12 Payroll Deduction Program must complete a 9 Pay 12 Payroll Deduction Program form. A flat dollar amount must be designated as the amount to be deducted from each bi-weekly paycheck and held in a PSU Foundation account. The deduction will appear as "PSU Agy 9pay12" on your payslip. At the end of the academic year one paper check will be issued for the total academic year 9 Pay 12 deductions. New participants may also need to complete a W-9 form for the Purchasing Department. The 9 pay 12 form must be completed and sent to the Human Resources office by August 15th in order to participate in the 9 Pay 12 program for the academic year.
9 Pay 12 Payroll Deduction Program Form
Note that instead of participating in the 9 Pay 12 Payroll Deduction Program, employees can direct a specific dollar amount to be electronically deposited to a personal savings or checking account from their regular paycheck. To do this, HR needs a Direct Deposit (EFT) Authorization Form and a voided check or deposit slip for any banking institute(s).
