Summer Pay

Lighten the Summer Load

Switch to Year-Round Paychecks!

Avoid the summer pay gap. Get paid every month.

If you’re on a compensation schedule that leaves summer months without paychecks, EdiFi can help you maintain access to consistent deposits into your account.

Simply set up Direct Deposit and indicate how much of your paycheck you want automatically allocated to your summer pay account (minimum of 10% recommended).

Your choice:

  • Summer Pay (1) – funds are disbursed in one lump sum OR
  • Summer Pay (5) – funds are disbursed every 2 weeks for a total of 5 payments

Disbursements start on July 1st. On the scheduled dates, funds are transferred directly into your designated EdiFi account and are available for immediate withdrawal.
