VCCS 2026 Payroll Calendar

Date:

December 15, 2025

Attached is the VCCS 2026 Pay Schedule which includes important deadlines for submitting documents to the Shared Services Center Payroll and HR Service lines for timely processing to meet pay period and VCCS HCM interface to Cardinal deadlines.

Please note:  

The Payroll and HR documentation deadline for the first Semi-monthly and Bi-weekly pay checks in 2026 will be December 19, 2025, to give adequate time for processing due to the holiday break and to meet the Cardinal data freeze dates.

Reminder:

The schedule includes a keying window for HR Data. All transactions with an effective date after the End date and before the following Begin date should be held until the entry period. We have found that at times, entering transactions outside of this window can cause outages for Payroll Confirmations.

Please contact payroll@ssc.vccs.edu or onboarding@ssc.vccs.edu with any questions, or reach out to your assigned Specialist for further assistance.

Thank you for your partnership!
