The payroll information presented below is an overview of the College payroll system. This information is subject to change and is subject to the provisions of any legislative mandates and College policy changes. For more detailed information about Highline College pay, please do not hesitate to contact the Payroll Office at 206-878-3710 ext. 3207 or 3221.
Paydates
Employees are paid on a ten-day lag. The 1st through the 15th of the month
is paid on the 25th of the month. The 16th through the last day of the
month are paid on the 10th of the following month. Due to holidays and
irregularities of the calendar there are exceptions. If the normal payday
falls on Saturday, payments are made on Friday. If normal paydays falls
on Sunday, payments are made on Monday.
On-line Employee Earnings
History
Highline utilizes a “paperless” payroll and all employees
are asked to sign up for electronic deposit of their salaries. Because
no payroll “stub” is generated, employees need to access the
Employee Earnings History on the Highline intranet (located under Online
Services link) to view their net pay,
deductions and leave balances. The employee SID (Secure ID) and PIN are
required for this access. If you access this page off campus, you will
be first required to use you usual log in information, such as your user
ID and password.
SID and PIN
A SID number is generated upon set-up into the payroll database. The information
is mailed to the employee’s home address. This number is used as
an employee ID instead of the social security number. Several times a
month PIN numbers are generated for new employees. They are also mailed
to the home address on file with a letter explaining their use.
Direct Deposit
New employees are asked to complete an
electronic deposit form to send
their net salary directly to their bank account. In the event of a change
of banks or accounts, payroll must be given that information by the 15th
or last day of the month in order that the employee’s salary is
not sent to a closed account.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently issued a new revenue ruling which changes the way employers calculate federal income taxes on wages paid to Nonresident Alien employees starting in January of 2006. The new withholding rules are meant to prevent over-withholding by more closely approximating an individual's actual income tax liability. If you would like to read the text of the new rulings it is available at the following link: http://www.irs.gov.gob/pb/irs-drop/n-05-76.pdf.
