Payroll
Adjuncts are offered a set amount per course. This amount is then divided by the number of months in the semester term.
- Fall Semester is paid in September, October, November, and December
- Spring Semester is paid in January, February, March, and April
- Summer Semester is paid in June and July.
- There is no adjunct pay in May or August.
Payday is the last day of the month (based on the semester pay calendar above). Direct deposit is mandatory; however, if this is your first teaching assignment your first check will be a live check mailed directly to your home.
Employee Self-Service
You may access your paystubs, update your address and tax information, and change your direct deposit from the Employee Self-Service website. You will need your employee ID to access this website. Your employee ID begins with "00" and is not your faculty "910" number. Instructions on how to access Employee Self-Service can be found here.
Adjunct Faculty Handbook
Please review the adjunct faculty handbook as it will answer many of your questions regarding academic affairs, student affairs, and human resources.
Obtaining an Intranet Account
Human Resources will request an email account for you as part of the onboarding process. Once you receive your email address you will need to request an Intranet Account. Instructions on how to request an account can be found here.
Important Contact Information
Knowing who to contact can sometimes pose a challenge as a new adjunct faculty member. We recommend printing this spreadsheet so that you will have contact information at your fingertips.
Frequently Asked Questions
- When do we get paid?
Payday is the last day of the month every month (e.g. May 31st). If the last day of the month falls on a weekend, payday is the Friday before the last day of the month.
- I am a new employee. How will I receive my first check?
Your first paycheck will be mailed directly to your home address from the State Accounting Office. If you have recently moved, please verify that HR has the correct address on file.
- How can I view my paycheck and/or update my address/tax information/direct deposit?
Please visit the Employee Self-Service to review your paycheck and/or update your address/tax information/direct deposit. Please see the flyer on ESS for login information.
- Where can I find my employee ID?
Your employee ID is located on your first paycheck. If you do not have your paycheck stub, you may email Nicole Schaeffer at nschaeffer@athenstech.edu.
- I changed my direct deposit account information. What should I expect?
Your first check immediately following the change will be a live paycheck mailed to your home address. Please verify your address with HR. Direct deposit changes may take up to two pay cycles for the change to be effective.

You should first contact your division administrative assistant for clarification and/or help. If they are unable to resolve your concerns, please contact Sherri Wilson at swilson@athenstech.edu.
