What documentation needs to be presented to Human Resources?
As part of the University’s employment process, all employees are required to complete a Federal Form I-9 to establish eligibility to work in the United States. This form must be completed and submitted along with documents that prove identity and work authorization. View a list of acceptable documents. Those identifying documents must be brought to one of the Human Resources offices listed below before, on or within 3 days your first day of employment.
If the I-9 is not completed within the first three days of employment, you will not be allowed to continue working.

Is Direct Deposit available for part-time faculty?
Direct Deposit is now available for part-time faculty. Newly hired employees must refer to the Direct Deposit Self Serve Instructions (PDF). Direct deposit processing will take two payroll cycles before it becomes effective.
How is my semi-monthly gross salary calculated?
Each Adjunct faculty member's pay rate is calculated by the following formula:
Semi-monthly Pay Rate = (Credit Hour Rate * # of credits) / (# of Pay Periods)
Example: Professor Stewart earns $700.00 per credit. She is receiving 3 credits for a class that is being taught in the fall semester.
Her salary would be as follows:
- $700.00 per credit multiplied by 3 credits divided by 7 pay periods = $300.00 (gross amount she will receive per pay period)
Who should I initially contact regarding any questions or concerns about my paycheck?
Please contact the Faculty Pay Team at facultypay@pace.edu.
What are Pace University's Compensation Guidelines for Adjunct Faculty members teaching in two schools during the same semester?

This effort can and will be achieved in Banner via the HRIS Department’s automated and manual processes.
Each Faculty Representative is required:
