After much consideration and feedback, Baylor has adjusted the December payroll date for monthly paid employees to the last weekday of the month. This adjustment will avoid a potential 6-week pay gap for monthly paid faculty and staff and provide a more consistent payroll experience. This adjustment will be effective in December 2024. More information can be viewed here.
