MAILBOXES

You may allow your students to submit papers to the TLEL program office in AB-133, attention: Nicole Smith, during regular office hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m.) or through the school's mailroom door (AB-131) after hours or on weekends. Papers will be placed in your mailbox the next day. Be sure your students place their work in a clearly-marked envelope if dropping after hours.

COPYING AND SCANNING

Each adjunct faculty member receives an individual code to copy/print. TLEL copy machines/printers are located in AB-230C and AB-133E. Please be judicious with copying. Use black and white whenever possible.

PAYROLL

Paydays are every other Wednesday. The University operates on a lag payroll (you are paid two weeks after completion of your first pay period). Binghamton University strongly encourages all employees to enroll in direct deposit. If you do not wish to have direct deposit, a paper check will be placed in your TLEL mailbox. Only paychecks/direct deposit paystubs for supervision adjuncts, who are not regularly on campus, will be mailed. [Direct deposit form info: agency/department code: 28020; your cell phone number, with area code.]

TIME AND ATTENDANCE RECORDS

Online time records are required for adjunct/supervision and adjunct faculty paid on a biweekly basis. Time and Attendance records are submitted electronically. Visit this page for information on how to access and log into the new system. (Not all supervision adjunct faculty are paid on a biweekly basis. Refer to your offer letter regarding your payment schedule.)
