If you are paid per hour, you will need to enter your hours worked each day. If you are paid by the IU, refer to your Notice of Assignment for your monthly pay breakdown.
BMCC’s pay period for hourly employees starts the 16th of the month and runs through the 15th of the following month. Otherwise, you will only enter leave as it occurs.
BMCC employees are paid the last working day of the month. Paychecks are available from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm at the Service Center. If your check is not picked-up by this time, it will be mailed.
If you live outside of Pendleton, your check is mailed the day before payday to hopefully ensure you receive your check on payday. If you work in Pendleton and don’t want your check mailed, please notify Anita in Payroll at 541 278-5750 or awillingham@bluecc.edu and she will have your check at the Service Center.
Notice of Assignment: Each term you will receive an email to your BMCC account from Connie Fellows explaining your Notice of Assignment (NOA) is available for review. The email will include instructions on how to access the NOA. It is important you review the NOA as this is how your pay is determined. Should you have questions about your NOA contact Diana Hammon, Director of Instructional Operations at 541 278-5762.
PERS: PERS Retirement contributions will be withheld if you work 600 hrs or more in a year or after you have completed 6 months of service at a rate of 6% of your gross income.

Notify Payroll if you have/are employed by another PERS employer at 541 278-5750 or payroll@bluecc.edu.
Union Dues: Per the Faculty Bargaining Agreement, union dues are through Oregon Educators Association (OEA) - Dues are based on the number of IU's taught per term. You have to teach 3 IU's a term and two terms in the academic year to qualify. After you have met this criteria, you pay dues every term you teach. If you teach at another school and you pay dues to OEA, you will only pay local dues. Notify Connie Fellows, Human Resources, at 541 278-5837 to note you pay dues to another OEA affiliate. Human Resources will notify you when you have met the above criteria.
Wolfweb: All instructors are required to register in the Student Wolfweb system. By creating a student file, the Office of Instruction is able to add your information into Course Management, which in turn generates information for the Notice of Assignment. In addition, this process also allows you access to the Faculty WolfTrax login under Faculty Resources. If you have ever taken a class at BMCC, you will already have a student account. If you don’t remember your password, contact the Student Service Center at 541 278-5759 to have your password reset. Once it has been reset the default password will be your birth month and day, (1105).
