When a new employee is hired at UF, is his or her first paycheck withheld to be paid upon termination?

No paychecks are held back. However, various factors may delay the employee receiving his or her first check. For example, the department may not be timely in completing payroll sign-up, or the appointment might be submitted immediately after a payroll closing deadline. However, the employee will receive all the pay he or she has earned and will “catch up” and be current with other employees in the payroll cycle. Please also note that the payday is usually the Friday of the week after the time card end date. This is not a hold back of pay, rather it is just the time it takes to process the payroll.

Can we make reclassifications retroactive?

No. Reclassifications of USPS and TEAMS employees cannot be implemented retroactively. Classification and Compensation will notify the department when a reclassification is approved, and the notification will include the earliest allowed effective date. The department may implement the employee’s new title, along with any applicable salary increase, on the effective date communicated by Classification and Compensation, or on a convenient date soon thereafter, such as the first day of the next pay period. However, the reclassification may not be implemented retroactive to the effective date communicated by Classification and Compensation. Accordingly, it is important for departments to submit reclassification proposals in a timely manner.
