Paychecks are paid on the 1st and 15th day of the month by direct deposit. Each month is separated into two pay periods: the 10th through the 24th of the month, and the 25th through the 9th of the next month. The paycheck on the 1st will be for work completed during the first pay period, and the paycheck on the 15th will be for work completed during the second pay period.
For example: On May 1st, you would be paid for the work you completed on April 10th – 24th. Then on May 15th, you would be paid for the work you completed on April 25th – May 9th.
To successfully process payroll for each pay period and have payment ready on the pay dates, we must finalize all time entries within Easy Projects by 10 AM the morning after the pay period ends unless the end of the pay period falls on a weekend.
For example: April 25th or May 10th at 10 AM is the deadline for all time entries to be updated into Easy Projects.
If time entries are finalized and your time is below your total hour goal, you will be required to add PTO on to bring your time up to the required number of hours.
For example: If you are a full-time employee and you log 38 hours for the pay period, you will need to submit a PTO request for the remaining 2 hours.
Please see the chart below for a quick overview:
| Paycheck Date: | Pay Period for Paycheck: | Payroll Deadline: |
|---|---|---|
| 1st of the Month | 10th – 24th of previous month Example: 4/10 – 4/24 | 25th of previous month at 10 AM Central Time Example: 4/25 @ 10 AM |
| 15th of the Month | 25th of previous month – 9th of current month Example: 4/25 – 5/9 | 10th of current month at 10 AM Central Time Example: 5/9 @ 10 AM |
Clarity is required by law to make certain deductions from your paycheck each time it is prepared. Among these are your federal, state and local income taxes and legally required contributions to Social Security. These deductions are itemized on your check stub on Rippling.
The amount of your tax deductions depends on your earnings, the information you put on your W-4, and any applicable state withholding forms regarding the number of exemptions you claim. If you wish to modify this number, you may do so through Rippling. Verbal or written instructions to Operations are not sufficient to modify withholding allowances. Remember to check your pay stub to make sure that it reflects the proper number of withholdings. Your annual W-2 form will reflect the amount of your earnings deducted for these purposes.
If you believe that your deductions are incorrect for any pay period or on your W-2, please reach out to Operations.
A wage garnishment is an order from a court or a government agency directing Clarity to withhold a certain amount of money from an employee’s paycheck and send it to a specified person or agency. Wages can be garnished to pay child support, spousal support or alimony, tax debts, outstanding student loans, or money owed because of a judgment in a civil lawsuit. If Clarity is instructed by a court or government agency to garnish an employee’s wages, the employee will be notified of the garnishment at once.
Please note that Clarity is legally required to comply with these orders. If you dispute or have concerns about the amount of a garnishment, contact the court or agency issuing the order.
