All employees are paid biweekly on every other Friday. Each paycheck will include earnings for all work performed through the end of the current payroll period.
Employees are encouraged to have pay directly deposited into their bank accounts. Employees will receive an itemized statement of wages when WVEMS makes direct deposits. Requests to be paid by paper check must be made in writing to the Business Manager or to your Supervisor.
In the event that a regularly scheduled payday falls on a banking holiday, employees will receive pay on the last day of work before the regularly scheduled payday.
If a regular payday falls during an employee's vacation, and if being paid by paper check, the employee's paycheck will be available upon his or her return from vacation.
If you are paid by paper check and you are unable to pick up your check, it will be held for you. Paychecks cannot be picked up by others unless an authorization slip is signed by you, giving permission to do so.
