In accordance with the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, section 633.2, an employee whose salary is established on a monthly basis shall receive their monthly salary based on 12 nearly equal pay periods each year.

• The pay period, referred to as a calendar month, will contain either 21 or 22 normal workdays. Normal workdays are Monday through Friday, including holidays during the week. If there are more than 22 or fewer than 21 normal workdays in a month, the pay period may end one day before or after the end of the calendar month. On rare occasions the pay period may end two days before the end of the calendar month.
• The end of the third monthly pay period, in each quarter, will always coincide with the end of the calendar quarter.
• Annual salary rates are divided among twelve full pay periods of employment.
• Hourly rate employees will be paid for the same pay periods as prescribed for monthly rate employees.
• The California Code of Regulations, Title 5, and the State Controller’s Office’s Payroll Procedure Manual prescribe special procedures for academic-year employees and ten-month academic employees in state universities.
