Faculty on twelve-month contracts and faculty administrators are paid semimonthly over a twelve-month period. Faculty with academic year appointments are also paid over 24 pay periods for 12 months. Payments are issued by Old Dominion University through the Payroll Office. Part-time faculty teaching during regular semesters and the summer session are paid on a modified schedule of payments available from the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

           Direct deposit is mandatory for all newly hired employees and is strongly encouraged for all employees as a means to address many of the logistical issues associated with payment distribution. The form required to establish direct deposit is available on the Old Dominion University web site. Additional information regarding direct deposit can be obtained by contacting the Payroll Office.
