We URGE everyone to sign up for Direct Deposit. The form is now online and can be located under the "Employee Self Service" link in MyUW. If you complete the form, this allows the UW to deposit your salary directly in your bank account. It usually takes two pay cycles (about four weeks) before your direct deposit will go into effect. Click on the "Employee Self Service" link in MyUW to track your earnings.

Until your direct deposit goes into effect, or if you elect not to use direct deposit, you may pick up your paycheck after 10:30 a.m. on payday from the Main Office. Note that you must sign for your check.

See Marthadina Russell if you have additional questions about payroll.
