A pay lag affects most employees and is the reason why it appears that your pay was withheld when you started working. When you leave City service, you receive pay one or two weeks after your last day worked because of the lag from your last pay period.

The Human Resources Office will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding pay lags.
