When will I get paid?

Payroll for LIU employees is every Friday, all other employees are paid bi-weekly on a Friday. Please see the pay schedule on the Payroll section of the Finance Department’s web page for exact dates.

I’m going on vacation. May I receive my check earlier than Friday?

I can’t find my W-2. How may I get a copy?

How can I have my check directly deposited into my bank account?
