Payroll Services

Cornell employees may sign up to have their paychecks automatically deposited into their bank accounts. Having earnings direct-deposited has several advantages over handling paper paychecks:

• Checks will not be lost in the mail or misplaced
  
• Pay will be received on payday, even while on vacation or out sick
• Checks will never become part of New York State's abandoned property under the "Abandoned Property Law"

Notes: 

• Employees electing to receive direct deposit for earnings may also be eligible to receive travel reimbursement amounts via ACH Enrollment.
• Due to processing and pre-notification times, it may take up to two paycheck cycles before funds begin being direct-deposited. During this time, paychecks will continue to be mailed to the address on file.
  

To enroll in the Direct Deposit program, please complete the Payroll Direct Deposit form.
