The Library uses Kronos, an automated timekeeping system, to clock our student employee hours.

Our pay period covers the 15th of one month through the 14th of the next and is paid on the 6th working day of the following month, usually the 8th. For example, if you start working on October 22 (which is during the pay period that closes on November 14) you will receive your first pay check on December 8.
