Mission
The primary mission of the Payroll department is to ensure
that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the
correct withholdings and deductions, and to ensure the
withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner.
This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and
deductions from a paycheck. Our mission is accomplished by
working with all the paying departments as well as the
Division of Human Resources, the Graduate School, Financial
Aid, and many other offices. The mission of the Payroll
department is not attainable without the assistance of the
Payroll contacts in each department. These contacts serve an
important role in providing the information needed for paying
and serving all employees of the University of South Carolina.
