Employment paperwork must be submitted to HR and individual cleared prior to starting work. Submit HR documents to FND-HR@csulb.edu and Payroll documents to FND-Payroll@csulb.edu for processing.        

ALL BENEFITED EMPLOYEES must use Vacation or OPA for the Friday after Thanksgiving on their Time Card. The Research Foundation is closed this day, but it is not a recognized, paid holiday.            
                    
Time cards must be delivered to the Research Foundation Office by 5 p.m. on the timecard due date. Time Cards submitted after the due date may be processed on the following payroll. Checks are ready for pick-up between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on pay day. Checks not picked up or directed to be held will be mailed at 1 p.m. on pay day. For additional information, please contact the Payroll Staff at 562-985-8486 or 562-985-8487.
        
ID NEEDED TO PICK UP A PAY CHECK:  
                    
To pick up a pay check the employee must provide an identification card with a picture (such as a driver's license). Pay checks may be released to an individual other than the employee only if the employee signs a note authorizing a specific individual to pick up their pay check on a particular pay day and a valid ID is presented.

This schedule applies only to salaried University employees who submit the monthly CSULB Exempt Employee Reporting Form instead of the semi-monthly staff timecards for payment of additional employment/overload through the Research Foundation. Employment paperwork must be submitted to HR and individual cleared prior to starting work. Submit payroll documents to FND-Payroll@csulb.edu for processing.
