Payroll and Compensation

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, employees at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith will see the frequency of their pay change to semimonthly.

Semimonthly pay means employees will be paid twice a month, usually on the 15th and last business days of each month. Business days are defined as days other than weekends and university holidays. If the 15th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, pay day will be on the Friday before. An employee’s annual salary will not change because of the shift in paycheck frequency.
