Timecards must be submitted to Cypress HCM by Monday at 9:00AM.

When you are Paid

Temporary Consultants are paid on Friday for work performed during the previous one-week pay period. If a regular payday falls on a holiday, employees will be paid on the prior business day.

Each week on Friday, paychecks are either mailed to the Temporary Consultant’s home address or direct deposited into an account designated by the Temporary Consultant.
