Supervisor Notice: 2026 Fall Processing Update #3 (Payroll Run18 - Run 20)
Dear Supervisors,
Following our previous communications on August 19 and September 2, 2026, this update pertains to processing across Payroll Runs 18 and 19 and tips for ensuring employees know how they can be proactive in monitoring their payroll status.
Last week, 56 employees were notified that their scheduled September 4 payroll disbursement could be delayed due to late submission of personnel documentation to the UA HR team. To minimize hardship, our team collaborated closely with department leadership on communications, while UA HR Payroll contacted affected staff directly with clear timelines for their adjusted payment schedule.
How Supervisors Can Help
Encourage your employees to proactively monitor their own payroll status by logging into the Employee Dashboard via UAOnline (select “Employee Dashboard,” then “Pay Information”). If they identify any potential payroll issues prior to a scheduled pay date, please have them notify their HRC immediately. This early awareness allows UA HR to partner with departments to resolve submission delays and ensure our employees are paid as promptly as possible.
Additionally, please continue to coordinate with your department HR Coordinator (HRC) to actively monitor the status of employees, particularly those who have submitted late documentation or had packets returned. Your HRC is a vital partner in ensuring a smooth process and can assist you in communicating with impacted staff. We encourage you to maintain regular contact with them to stay informed of any potential payroll issues.
What’s Next
Our processing efforts have shifted from the peak volumes of Runs 18 and 19 to finalizing run 19. Thanks to significant efficiency gains, we have made steady progress and reduced backlogs despite high transaction volumes. We are currently addressing late departmental submissions for R19 and aim to resolve as many as possible and will provide a further update on R19 by Friday, September 18, 2026.
We deeply value your partnership in keeping teams informed, especially regarding potential payroll impacts. Should questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact your HR Coordinator directly, or reach out to UA HR at ua-hr@alaska.edu or (907) 450-8200.
Sincerely,
Nickole Conley
