Unclassified Monthly Pay Date for December Earnings is January 3, 2012
November 14, 2011
If you are an Unclassifed employee paid on the 1st of each month, this is a reminder that the Unclassified monthly pay date for December earnings is Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
January 3, 2012 is the pay date since January 1 (New Year's Day) is a Sunday, and Monday, January 2 is the Federal Reserve Holiday observing the Sunday, New Year's Day holiday.
When a pay date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Reserve holiday the pay date is usually the previous business day or non-Federal Reserve holiday. An exception to this normal pay date provision is the Unclassified monthly pay date that falls on New Year's Day, January 1.
To avoid tax-related issues, the January pay date for December earnings must be the "official banking business day" following the New Year's holiday. The "official banking business day" is defined as a calendar day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal Reserve Holiday.
