Payroll FAQs
1. How do I add or update my direct deposit information?
2. How do I enter hours and submit my timesheets for approval?
3. I forgot to submit my hours from a previous pay period. How and when will I get paid?
The following three steps must be done as soon as possible to ensure payment of any unpaid hours.
- Enter hours in Workday on the correct days which they were worked in the previous pay period.
- Submit your timesheet(s) for approval by your manager.
- Once your manager has approved your timesheets, you or your manager should notify the Payroll Department by calling 361-593-3006 or emailing payroll@tamuk.edu to confirm when payment for retroactive hours will be issued.
**Please note, try to avoid waiting to submit your retro hours with your current hours. This may cause further delay in payment for those hours.
4. If I work overtime, will these hours be paid on my paycheck?
If you are a non-exempt employee (hourly pay rate) and authorization has been given by your manager to work over 40 hours a week, you will be paid as outlined below:
(Please review the Texas A&M-Kingsville Overtime Procedure and/or the Texas A&M System Overtime Regulation for additional information.)

9. Who should I contact if my pay is incorrect?
Please reach out to your hiring manager or your department admin to discuss. If any adjustments/corrections are necessary, they will be discussed between the department manager/assistant and the Payroll Department. Please feel free to contact Payroll at 361-593-4604 to confirm any changes.
10. I was offered a relocation allowance. How and when will I receive that payment?
Please reach out to your hiring manager or your department admin to discuss. Once Payroll has received all necessary documentation from your department, we will be able to process the relocation allowance payment on the next available pay date.
**Please note, relocation allowances will be processed after an employee has received their first payroll for employment.
11. Can I choose to switch my pay schedule from monthly to biweekly, or vice versa?
No, changes cannot be made to a pay frequency as this was determined at the time of hire. If you were hired into an exempt position (salary), you will be paid monthly. If you were hired into a non-exempt position (hourly), you will be paid biweekly. Should you have any additional questions, please contact the Payroll Department.
