Direct Deposit

UW Direct Deposit

The University encourages all employees to have direct deposit. On payday, your money will be in your account at the opening of the financial institution's payday. Direct deposit of your payroll check means no lost or stolen paper checks, no waiting in line to pick up a payroll check and no special trip to your bank or credit union. Many financial institutions offer incentives such as "free checking" to encourage participation in Direct Deposit.

To enroll in UW Direct Deposit, log in to the Employee Self-Service (ESS) system and follow the sign up link at the bottom of the home page.  It can also be processed using the Direct Deposit form.

Pay Advice Slips

Remember that pay advice slips are now available electronically through ESS. You can log in and get your own Printable Earnings Statement any time for the most current pay date as well as previous pay periods (one year of payroll history is available on line).
