Paycards – Updates • CU is now an electronic pay employer. • Employees have two options to get paid:

– Direct Deposit: Employees can choose direct deposit through self-service in the portal (my.cu.edu). They must complete this enrollment one business day prior to time collection deadline.

– PayCards: Employees who choose not to sign up for direct deposit or have not yet done so will be defaulted to a paycard.

• Paycards are sent to the mailing address listed in HRMS.• A welcome letter along with a flier on how to use the card (in addition to

the guide that comes with the paycard) are included in the instant issue packs (Copies of these fliers are available at http://www.cu.edu/employee-services/paycards-details)
