departmental staff must thoroughly perform their administrative duties, including submitting timely personnel actions and reviewing all versions of their Cost Center Reports. If you wait until an employee notifies you that they did not receive their direct
deposit, it may result in them waiting until the University reopens in January to receive payment.
