On-Demand Payment Requests Instructions

In the event that an employee is not paid due to a departmental delay or error, a payment may be requested. All business processes that may affect the retroactive payment must be completed in order for the retroactive pay to calculate. The payroll department will review the request and notify the department if the request can be processed.

Payment requests must be submitted to the Payroll Department by noon the Monday after pay date. To process an on-demand payment, please log into Workday and initiate a Create Request for an on-demand payment. A job aid is available in Workday in the FAU Job Aid Application.

The employee will receive payment via direct deposit within 48-72 hours. Employees requesting a live check will be notified to pick up the check in person; valid identification is required. The Payroll Department is located in the Administration Building 10, Room 138.

If you have any questions, please send an email to payroll@fau.edu.
