The University of Central Florida operates on a bi-weekly payroll cycle. The work week begins on Friday and ends two weeks later on Thursday.

Section 110.113 of the Florida Statutes requires mandatory participation in the direct deposit program as a condition of employment. Therefore, all employees, except undergraduate work study students, are required to establish direct deposit as a condition of employment. Employees who are unable to establish banking relationships, by special arrangement with Bank of America, the UCF Credit Union and Sun Trust Bank, will be allowed to establish a limited banking relationship with no associated fees within limits set by each financial institution. Employees who consider their circumstances to be special, may request an exemption by submitting a written request detailing the specific reason(s) for the exemption to the Director of Human Resources. The employee will not be required to establish direct deposit while the request for exemption is under review. The employee will have thirty days to establish direct deposit if the Director of Human Resources denies the request for exemption.

Employees who wish to have their payment deposited into a checking account must attach a voided personal check to the Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Employees who wish to have the payment deposited into a savings account must verify the transit routing number (9-digit number) with the bank or credit union in which the money should be deposited. Deposit slips do not contain the transit routing number.

Failure to enroll in the direct deposit program or failure to obtain an approved exemption means the employee has not met a condition of his or her employment.

A savings or checking account (no money market accounts accepted) at a financial institution (based in the United States) is all that is required for direct deposit. Commercial banks and credit unions are considered financial institutions. Some commercial banks offer free or reduced cost accounts with the use of direct deposit. You are encouraged to check with various financial institutions during the selection process. Human Resources has established business relationships with both the UCF Federal Credit Union and SunTrust Bank to ensure that all UCF employees will be able to open some type of account, regardless of credit history.

Employees who have completed the Direct Deposit Authorization Form will not receive a printed paycheck, nor will they receive a printed itemized pay statement. Employees are able to access their itemized payment statement via Employee Self Service. Step by step instructions are provided for accessing Employee Self Service to view the payment statement. If an employee does not have access to a computer, a Kiosk located on any of the UCF campuses can be used to obtain the pay statement. Click here for a current list of machine locations.

Earnings statements for any pay period (up to 2 years) prior to December 31, 2003, are available from the Florida Department of Financial Services website.

Employees who receive an actual payroll check (not direct deposit) must come to Human Resources on payday with photo identification in order to pick up his or her paycheck.

The W-4 Form should be used to make changes to the employee's name, marital status, withholding allowances or additional amounts to be withheld. This form should be submitted to Payroll Services either by intercampus mail, regular mail, or fax:
