Your salary will be paid in equal monthly installments on the last day of each month that you teach. All paychecks are mailed on the last day of the month to your preferred mailing address. Please inform the office in Chicago if you prefer to have your check held for pick up. An option available to lecturers is direct deposit of paychecks. Forms can be requested from Lorraine Thomas in Chicago.
Most major banks participate in direct deposit.
If you are employed by another department in the University, your SCS paycheck will be combined with any salary you receive from that department and will be distributed from that office. Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, all employees who have not received a Northwestern University paycheck within the last year, or whose employment commenced later than August of 1986, must present proof of eligibility to work in the United States. Please refer to the notice on immigration included in your appointment packet for instructions. Personnel will not release paychecks to employees who have not submitted an I-9 form to their office. Your final paycheck is held until your grade sheet is received by our office.
