Payroll Contacts
Human Resources Payroll Contacts are located across the state. They are responsible for processing payroll, benefit changes, and leave adjustments for employees. Please keep them updated regarding any payroll, benefit, or address changes.

Payroll
Biweekly pay dates are every other Wednesday. 

As of January 1, 2008 pay stubs are no longer mailed to employee’s home addresses, but are available to view online a few days before each pay date.  Employees who are not utilizing direct deposit will have their paycheck mailed to their home address on pay day (but will not receive a pay stub). 

It is important that employees provide any address changes to their Human Resources payroll contact promptly by completing a change of address form, so that changes can be made in advance of pay day. W-2 forms are mailed to employee’s homes.

If you are an employee located within the 24-hour facilities, please see the 2009 Biweekly Pay Schedule Monday-Sunday Workweek for details on your pay periods and pay dates. If you are an employee located within one of our five service areas or Central Administration, please see the 2009 Biweekly Pay Schedule Saturday-Friday Workweek for details on your pay periods and pay dates.

Reporting Hours
There are many tools used for reporting time worked and leave used. Within most of the 24-hour facilities, employees use Kronos, which allows employees to report work hours through a clock-in mechanism. Employees should check with their supervisor or Human Resources for the appropriate method of reporting hours of work and leave usage for their area.

Direct Deposit
Net wages (wages after taxes and deductions) are directly deposited into an employee's checking and/or savings account(s) the morning of payday.  This process eliminates spending time traveling to the bank to deposit the check. Employees may view their pay stub and direct deposit set-up on-line.  Instructions for how to do this may be found at: http://www.das.state.ne.us/nis/trainingmanuals/810_training_manuals/hrp/index_ess.html

Employees interested in participating in the Direct Deposit process must complete the Direct Deposit Agreement Form to begin having wages directly deposited into their accounts. The form, along with documentation of the account and routing number for each account, is sent to their Human Resources and Development office for processing.

Employees may split their paycheck among several different accounts and banks (up to 6 different accounts). Employees wishing to utilize the multiple deposit process must meet with their Human Resources and Development representative to enroll in this option.

Direct Deposit paperwork must be submitted to Human Resources and Development at least 3 weeks prior to payday to allow time to process the changes. Direct Deposits will be set up as soon as possible after the paperwork is received; however, there may be a pre-notification cycle that would cause a delay of up to one pay cycle before the deposits occur.  Employees will receive a paper paycheck via the United States Postal Service during that time.

Changes of the employee's financial institution or account number designations must be made using the Direct Deposit Agreement Form. Employees must fill out this form and notify Human Resources and Development BEFORE closing any bank accounts. Failure to do so could result in a paycheck being delayed.

Tax Changes
Tax withholdings may be changed by completing a new W-4 form and submitting it to Human Resources. Employees may claim up to 10 exemptions. W-4's which exceed 10 exemptions will be forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service by the Human Resources division.
