How do I sign up for direct deposit ?Download the Direct Deposit Authorization form from Payroll's home page, print it on your printer, fill out the required information, and submit the completed form to the Payroll Office. It will become effective on the second payday after Payroll receives the form. If you do not have access to a printer, the forms are also available in the Payroll office. All employees are eligible for direct deposit. Back to TopHow can I find out how many vacation and sick days I have accrued?Sick and Vacation days available are printed on your payroll check stub. The accrual is accurate as of the last time sheet you've turned in. You can also ask your supervisor. Each payday, your department head receives a "Time Control Listing". This report lists the available hours for both vacation and sick time for each employee in the department. It does not include any vacation or sick time taken during the last pay period. Therefore, to calculate your remaining time exactly, subtract vacation or sick pay taken during your last pay period from the amount reported on the Time Control Listing. When in doubt call Payroll.
