Human Resources Frequently Asked Questions

It is recommended that all employees have their paychecks directly deposited into their bank account. This will ensure that payment is received on the check date regardless of whether school is in session or offices are closed.

You are allowed up to two accounts that funds can be deposited in. When filling out the Direct Deposit form, please indicate the dollar amount that is to be deposited into each account.

As part of processing, the payroll company sends a test pre-note to the employee’s bank, verifying the accuracy of the account information.  After a successful pre-note, the funds will be electronically deposited into the account with the following payroll.  For example, if an employee who is paid semimonthly on January 15th submits a Direct Deposit request form on January 4th, the transaction will pre-note on January 15th.  If the pre-note is successful, the funds will be directly deposited on the next payroll check date of January 30th.

If you are an hourly employee, Nyack College will pay up to $40 per day for the first 3 days. You must provide proof of jury duty selection before we can process the payment.

You must complete the Replacement of a Lost Check Form and submit to our office. Once received, we will verify that check is still outstanding and after 45 days of the check date, we will replace the check.

An International student must complete the Form I-9. It is also important to provide Human Resources with a copy of the student’s F-1 Visa document.

According to the IRS, as stated on the W-4 Form, you cannot claim exemption from tax withholding if your income exceeds $950 and includes more than $300 of unearned income (ex: interest and dividends) and/or if another person can claim you as a dependent on their tax return (ex: your parent or guardian). If you do not plan to make more than $950 and you are not being claimed by anyone else, you can fill in “Exempt” on line 7 of the Form W-4.

The Office of Human Resources is not authorized to give tax advice; however we can provide you with a basic understanding of allowances. Those that claim zero allowances will have the most amount of taxes taken from their pay. If you claim one exemption, fewer taxes are taken and so on and so forth. If you are currently a dependent of someone else, it would be a good idea to consult the dependent when filling out this form.

If you are a Paylocity registered user, login and navigate to Tax Forms within the Pay tile. If you need further assistance, please email HR@nyack.edu.
