Employee Data Dashboard for August 2023

The Office of Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management (HRSTM) Employee Data Dashboard provides monthly data about Montgomery College employees to encourage employees to access on‑demand information and resources.
The data dashboard has been updated as of August 15, 2023.

Period Activity Pay Reminders for Fall 2023

As a reminder, Period Activity Pay (PAP) is how all part-time faculty (PTF) are paid in Workday and must be entered by administrative aides (AAs) based on the timelines set by HRSTM to ensure timely payment. Please note the following PAP dates for the upcoming fall semester.
Fall Pay for Part-Time Faculty
The number of payments will vary based on when the classes occur (i.e., the specific Part of Term). The majority of fall classes are in Part of Term 1, which will be paid over nine (9) pay dates.
The first pay date for the fall semester for PTF working Part of Term 1 will be September 8, 2023, and the ninth and final pay will be on December 29, 2023. AAs were contacted directly with specific details.
View the full Fall PAP memo for AAs supporting part-time faculty. Please see page 2 of the memo for pay details for classes in other parts of the term.
