As a reminder, due to a transition period in Payroll Services, off-cycle weeks will be used only for reallocations and leave adjustments. Missed pays or corrections to pays will be processed during the next available pay cycle week.

Additionally, the Payroll Services email, payroll@mtu.edu, will only be used to collect paper timesheets, reallocations, deduction forms or timekeeper designation forms. In order to provide more effective customer service, the Payroll Services main telephone number will be redirected to the Human Resources main line, 906-487-2280. Questions regarding payroll can be directed to 906-487-2280 and will be responded to within one business day.

Tax forms must be sent to Payroll Services via campus mail or hand-delivered to the Lakeshore Center, as email is not secure.

Payroll Services and Human Resources appreciate your patience and understanding.
