Temporary Flat-rate employees are paid on the last business day of the month with the exception of December, when the pay day is earlier in the month. Temporary Hourly Employees are paid on a bi-weeky pay schedule. Visit the Bi-weekly Payroll Calendar page for further information.
Payroll time conversion is simply the process of converting minutes to hours for payroll purposes. For example, 30 minutes would be entered into payroll as 0.5 hours. Some organizations only enter a single decimal for hours, so minutes are rounded. If only a single decimal place is used, typically organizations will round up.
