Paycards – Updates CU is now an electronic pay employer. Employees have two options to get paid: – Direct Deposit: Employees can choose direct deposit through self-service in the portal (my.cu.edu). They must complete this enrollment one business day prior to time collection deadline. – PayCards: Employees who choose not to sign up for direct deposit or have not yet done so will be defaulted to a paycard. Paycards are sent to the mailing address listed in HRMS.

(This may change on the weeks we process monthly payrolls.) Approved batches submitted will be paid the following Friday. Docks will not process unless there is enough positive earnings from which to draw. Note: There will be an early processing on the week of Oct. 20 (Offcycle will close at noon Monday due to monthly payroll processing.) Run Ids for off-cycle processing: Please use the list on Employee Services website under Business Partner Resources. – This should help ensure the correct ID is used for reports.

Special Off-cycle – A Few Notes Important Note: 1.Are you paying employee on the off-cycle payroll? 2.Has the employee selected special tax-deferred elections? If you answered YES to question 1 and YES or I DON’T KNOW to question 2: Please notify a Payroll or Benefits Professional to ensure correct deductions are taken on the off-cycle payroll.
