Benefits

Your ID card will be available in the Sykes Student Union once your information is entered in the PeopleSoft system - typically within one week prior to the start of the semester. It's advisable to call the Ram Card office (x0429) before going over to ensure that your information has been entered into their system and your ID can be created. You will also need to have a signed ID authorization form, which will be given to you during the Benefits Orientation.

If you are on a 20-pay cycle you receive 10 pays per semester. If you are on a 26-pay cycle you receive 13 pays per semester and are paid through the summer.

If you are on a 26-pay cycle and for some reason are on an unpaid leave of absence in the fall you will not start receiving pay again until early to mid-March, since the last 3 pays for fall are paid to you in the beginning of the spring semester (this is what allows you to receive pay over the summer).

Ideally all doctor appointments should be scheduled four to six weeks after your date of hire in order to allow time to receive your cards. If you must schedule an appointment prior to receiving your cards please contact Vicky Giunta in the Human Resources Office as far in advance of your appointment as possible. Vicky can be reached
