In an effort to encourage direct deposit for students and to reduce the costs associated with paper checks, effective 8/20/12 all payroll checks for new hire or rehired temporary students and work study students will be sent to Payroll Services, Waterman 237 for pick up.

Pick up times will be pay day from 8:00 am-4:30 pm and the Monday following pay day from 8 am - Noon at Payroll Services, Waterman 237 with a photo ID. If checks still remain in Payroll Services after the designated pick up times have passed, supervisors and students will be notified via email that they have a payroll check to pick up in Payroll Services.

Please help us avoid the inconvenience of sending an email reminder by encouraging direct deposit for students. Checks will no longer be distributed to campus locations in an effort to reduce the large volume of lost checks. For those that work off campus special arrangements can be made but Payroll Services will strongly encourage those that work off campus to sign up for direct deposit since it is the safest and most efficient way to be paid.

Temporary employees that are NOT designated as students will not be affected by this change. During the coming months Payroll Services will be working on updating check addresses for currently active temporary student employees and redirecting their checks to Payroll Services if no direct deposit is in place.

Additionally Payroll Services would like our campus community to be aware that Work Study checks are indeed Payroll Checks and should be treated as such. They are not merely an accounting of one’s financial aid but are directed to the student by way of compensation to use for associated educational expenses.

Payroll Services appreciates your assistance while we enact this change to better service our students and campus community. Any questions can be directed to Payroll Services at 656-6600 or by emailing Payroll@uvm.edu. Thank you.
