Payroll
What We Do
Our office provides timely payroll services to the Rutgers University community. Beyond processing the time you work to earn your pay, we also remit your tax and other withholdings, issue your year-end W2 form, and more.
Time and Labor
Learn how to complete time and labor entries, view payroll cutoff dates, or arrange a training session specific to your department’s needs regarding time and labor entries and/or Web Clock.
Direct Deposit
Log in and review the Payroll Direct Deposit guide to set up direct deposit. Payroll users who do not have access to establish direct deposit online may download and use the direct deposit form below or use the pay card-related resources to enroll in the Pay Card Program.
Employee Travel Reimbursement
Commitment Accounting
Use the Salary and Wage Redistribution and Justification (SWRJ) application to request a transfer of work effort/costs to alternate funding source(s) after payroll has been posted to the general ledger.
Payments to Nonresident Aliens
Payments to nonresident aliens are generally subject to income tax withholding of 30 percent, unless the foreign national is eligible to receive a tax treaty benefit. Before inviting or otherwise agreeing to pay a non-U.S. citizen, departments must ensure that the individual is or will be present in the U.S. under a VISA classification that allows them to legally receive payment.
Recovery of Payroll Overpayment
Overpayments are defined as wage and salary payments in excess of what an employee is owed. Departments have the responsibility to review Payroll Earnings and Benefit reports each pay period to identify errors and should report any discrepancies immediately. Employees are responsible to verify the accuracy of their pay each pay period and immediately report any discrepancies to their supervisor or the payroll department.
