Once again, many graduate assistants and adjuncts have not been paid for their appointment or reappointment due to a “high volume” of paperwork in payrolls across the CUNY system. If you weren’t paid please take the following steps:
- Look at whatever pay stub you have and figure out what school is paying you.
- Once you know that, run (don’t walk or call) to the human resources department of that school. At the Graduate Center, it’s on the 8th floor across from the Bursar’s Office.
- Explain to them that you were not paid. Have your appointment letter and any other paperwork you filed. When they tell you that you won’t be paid until 10/8, calmly ask for an advance on your salary.
- Write an email to the associate provost of your division (Dr. Louise Lennihan for the social sciences and humanities –llennihan@gc.cuny.edu and Dr. Ann Henderson for the sciences–ahenderson@gc.cuny.edu.) Explain who you spoke to in payroll, what they told you and the date you signed your appointment letter.
- Let the Adjunct Project know. We’ve already notified the PSC of this problem but we’d like to know the number of people this has impacted.
