Even if the check is found, it cannot be cashed. Additionally, students should understand that if they are responsible for the lost check, their accounts may be charged the fee incurred by the College from the bank for the processing to stop payment. A duplicated entry is made with the next regular payroll cycle after the bank has notified the College that the process is complete. Thus, students receive their new check at least four weeks after the original time card was submitted. As this procedure is time consuming and may be costly, we strongly urge students to continue searching for one week before issuing a stop payment.
Most students find their lost checks before new ones are issued.
The College offers a paycheck direct deposit service for student employees. All students are encouraged to use this service. Taking advantage of this opportunity will eliminate the possibility of a lost or stolen paycheck. Funds will be available in the bank at the opening of business on each payday.
