Pay Period

MTSA pays hourly employees on a biweekly basis. If pay day falls on a federal holiday, payment will be processed on the previous day. Workweeks are from Sunday through Saturday.

MTSA pays salaried employees on a monthly basis, with payment received on the last MTSA business day of the month. If pay day falls on a federal holiday, payment will be processed on the previous day. This pay period begins on the first day of the month and ends on the last day of the month.

For new employees, the date they receive their first pay­roll deposit depends on their date of hire and the timing for payroll processing. In most cases, new employees receive their first payroll deposit on the pay period following the date of hire.

All checks are distributed by electronic funds transfer. All employees must complete a direct deposit form upon hire. Pay notices are available electronically.
