To prevent delayed or lost paychecks, encourage all new employees to enroll in Direct Deposit as soon as they have system access and can confirm their mailing address is correct in UCPath. Please note: Direct Deposit typically takes 1-2 pay cycles to take effect.

See Berkeley's Central Payroll Office website for Paycheck and Pay Dates for bi-weekly and/or monthly paid employees. (Look at Step 8 - Summary Timeline for additional deadline/timeline details)
