While most financial institutions post funds to accounts at the beginning of the bank business day, this is not a universal practice. Some institutions post funds in the afternoon. We recommend you check with your financial institution to determine when your funds will be available.

For semi–monthly, this is only for Caltrans Highway Labor Force and Department of General Services Office of State Publishing employees.
