Show PACE 2 THE THUNDERBIRD Z'LJ MONDAY VTJ NOVEMBER CJ 2, 1987 NC7 Senate ASSUSC senate is currently spearheading a project to find out possibilities of paying student employees every two weeks instead of once a month. The SUSC student employee payroll system is presently set up to pay students on the tenth of each month. One drawback to the current payroll system is if a student starts work early in the month, their first paycheck from SUSC is received. According to Roger Wareham, Student Service Center director, SUSC was tapped into the Weber State College computer system which only paid their employees once a month. But on January 1, 1984, SUSC withdrew from the Weber State College computer system. The payroll system was never changed; once a month payment was continued, Changing the system was never an issue, said Dorian Page, SUSC controller, the idea was never even brought to the administrations attention. The major worry of the administration, said Page, is that paying students twice a month would cost more money because of having to run paychecks more often. The administration would also loose a large amount of money from interest on the funds if they paid employees every two weeks. "This shouldnt matter, said Wareham, because the money is the students in the first place. The administration, working directly with Wareham, is examining students views on establishing a pay period. Because this issue is concerned with students, "said Wareham, we want to find out exactly what they want. Changing the system is not a new idea, said Sterling Church, SUSC vice president. The idea was brought up one year ago, but at the time, it was not feasable because of initial costs. Church said the next step to be taken should involve Monica Moe, ASSUSC student body president, writing a letter of concern about the payroll system. When this concern was brought to my attention, recognized its merrits, and intend to support it, said Moe, but it is going to take student imput for my recommendation to carry any ANYONE INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH THIS YEARS MOTHERDAUGHTER WEEKEND PLEASE CALL 586-074WE NEED TO GET OUR COMMITEE TOGETHER 5.
