An employee's net pay may be deposited to a checking or savings account at a New Mexico financial institution. If this option is selected, a direct deposit will be made each pay date until the option is stopped by the employee. This option is available to all University employees. Paymasters Distribution Employees who do not take advantage of direct deposit will pick up their paycheck from the designated paymaster. Paychecks may be picked up at the beginning of the payday.
Identification bearing a photograph is required for each employee picking up a paycheck.
If the proper identification cannot be provided, the check will be returned to the Payroll Office. If an employee wishes that another individual pick up the paycheck, written authorization from the employee, a copy of the employee's identification, and the individual's own identification are necessary. On a one time basis, an employee may request that the Payroll Office mail their paycheck to an off campus address. This option is most frequently used upon termination of employment or for students at the end of a semester. To request this option, the employee completes the One-Time Mail Check Request and sends it to the Payroll Office.
