    • When do I receive my pay check?
      • The State pay periods begin on Wednesday and end ten (10) days later on Tuesday. The check for that time period will be sent to the address on the W-4 you submitted. Once direct deposit takes effect, your pay will be electronically sent to your bank and available on that date.

      • The initial set up can take two (2) pay periods before your check is electronically sent to your bank. The Central Payroll Bureau (CPB) sets up your account and sends a pre-note to the bank to ensure the bank and account numbers are correct.
