CHM HR -2026 Pay Schedule with Entry Dates

In this document, there are CHM department dates for time and leave entry. It is advised that you add these dates to your calendar as a reminder to enter your time or leave.

The biweekly pay period starts on a Sunday and runs until the next week's Saturday. There are a few key dates to keep in mind during each pay period: 

  • Best practice is to enter time and/or leave as it occurs
  • Time and/or leave hours must be submitted by 4:00PM on the second Friday in the current pay period (third column) or every other Friday
  • Approvals by supervisors are completed on the Monday following the end of the prior pay period (fourth column) or every other Monday 
  • Time entries that are not approved by supervisors or addressed by CHM HR by the Thursday following the end of the pay period will be auto‑advanced and paid as entered, even if the hours are incorrect. Auto‑advanced entries must then be reviewed by the supervisor after payroll processes, and they often result in corrections that need to be made in upcoming payroll periods.

  • To reduce extra follow‑up, corrections, and payroll reconciliation work, supervisors are expected to make every effort to avoid auto‑approvals by reviewing and approving time on schedule.

  • Paychecks are sent out (or electronically direct-deposited) on the Thursday of the second week following the end of the current pay period
