Timely and Proper Compensation A. Employees are entitled to timely receipt of all wages earned by them for the applicable pay period. The Employer will make every effort to ensure that employee's wages are fowarded through direct deposit to designated accounts or that checks are sent by mail. B. Employees may elect to either designate accounts for direct deposit or receive a check mailed to a specified address (not a work address). The purpose of direct deposit to designated accounts via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) is to ensure timely receipt of pay and to avoid lost checks. The Employer encourages maximum participation in EFT. C. Employees wishing an exception to B, above, will follow the the procedures in GSA Order COM4281.1A dated March 30, 1987. X. Xxx and leave statements (GSA Form 975) will be distributed to all bargaining unit employees no later than close of business on the established payday. E. If a bargaining unit employee fails to receive his/her payroll check on the established payday, or a transfer of Funds is not effected, the employee will notify his/her Supervisor and the Employer will notify National Payroll Center (NPC). An investigation will be initiated immediately and replacement of the missing or lost check/EFT will be pursued. Upon request, the Employer will prepare the necessary documentation for the employee's signature, which will be sent to NPC via overnight delivery.
