- When is Payday Again?
-
Geneseo prides itself on hiring our new employees on the first day of a pay period. We do this for you! When you start on the first day of a pay period (which is always a Thursday), your first check is a full paycheck. When you don't start on the first day of a pay period, your first paycheck:
- will be less,
- you will have benefits deductions and taxes take out and you have already waited at least a month before your first paycheck,
- some of our bargaining units experience a "salary withholding program" deduction in addition to regular tax and benefits deductions. Starting on the first day of a pay period helps offset these deductions.
