Payroll Deadlines

The Payroll Deadlines are for normal processing weeks. You will be notified if these dates and/or times change due to Holidays that affect our processing schedules.

Please submit your current PAF’s as soon as you can. This helps with processing time for the HR-Payroll Staff.

Remember to always use the General Emails and Naming Conventions to submit your paperwork.

Awards, Bonuses, & Gifts

IRS regulations state that cash awards and gift certificates are a taxable fringe benefit to the employee and must be added to taxable wages. Cash, gift certificates, gift cards, or other cash equivalents which are given to employees as gifts or awards are all considered taxable fringe benefits. Amounts paid to employees as bonuses in addition to their usual compensation must also be added to taxable wages. 

Please note that when it comes to cash awards or cash equivalent, there is NO de minimus amount per the IRS.
