Unclassified Monthly Pay Date for December Earnings is January 2, 2015
December 29, 2014
If you are an unclassified employee paid on the 1st of each month, this is a reminder that the unclassified monthly pay date for December earnings is Friday, January 2, 2015. January 2 is the pay date since January 1 (New Year's Day) is a Federal Reserve Holiday.
When a pay date falls on a Federal Reserve holiday or a weekend, the pay date is usually the previous business day. An exception to this is the unclassified monthly pay date that falls on New Year's Day, January 1.
To avoid tax-related issues, the January 1 pay date for December earnings is paid in the new calendar year and must be the first "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.
