Payroll Distribution
Direct Deposit
Payroll is distributed to University of Illinois System employees via direct deposit into a U.S. bank account. Funds may be split between two deposit accounts.
Review or make changes to your direct deposit at My UI Info. Have your bank accounts and routing numbers available.
To split funds between two deposit accounts:
- Set up a secondary Optional Partial Payroll Deduction account.
Flat amounts designated for deposit to a secondary account are deposited first and the remaining net pay amount is deposited into the primary account.
- Set up the Primary Financial Institution account.
You may select only one primary account to deposit your total net pay into. If you set up a secondary optional account, the flat amount selected for that account is deposited first and the remaining net pay amount is deposited into the primary account.
Pay Cards
Employees may elect to receive pay electronically on a payment card (pay card). Pay cards may be picked up at your university's University Payroll & Benefits office or may be mailed to the employee's mailing address on file.
Learn more about pay cards by visiting the rapid! PayCard Program page on the System Human Resource Services website.
Paper Checks
In the event a paper payroll check must be generated, the check will be distributed via U.S. mail to the employee's mailing address on file. Under certain circumstances, paper checks can be mailed to the employee's Campus/Office address on file.
If your paper check was mailed to your Campus/Office address on file and you do not collect your paper check from your unit within 30 days of issue, your unit should complete the Return Payroll Checks Form to return the unclaimed payroll check to University Payroll & Benefits.
To review or make changes to your addresses on file, go to the My Profile section on the My UI Info page.

Earnings statements are available online for 48 months at My UI Info.
