Direct Deposit

Beginning April 1, 2020 and going forward, any paper payroll checks will be mailed to your current home address on file. We encourage all employees to log into my.untsytem.edu and update your home address (under Personal Information) to ensure that your payroll check is mailed to the correct address.

If you are not interested in having your payroll check mailed to your home address and would prefer another method of payment we would encourage you to sign up for Direct Deposit or the Brinks Skylight Money Card to receive your payroll funds.

Benefits 
  • Avoid check cashing fees.
  • No paper to lose or damage.

Additional Direct Deposit

Employees can now establish an additional direct deposit authorization from their paycheck into a second bank account. This enables employees to split their paycheck between more than one checking or savings account.

  1. Log in to the self-service portal via https://my.untsystem.edu
  2. From the left hand navigation, click Payroll & Compensation
  3. Click on “Direct Deposit”
  4. Sign-in through Duo
  5. Click “Edit” to update account information
  6. If you currently have only one direct deposit account, select “Add row”
    • a. If you do not have an active direct deposit row (direct deposit detail), you will only be provided two options to (Add or Delete) a pending change previously entered.
    • b. If no previous change has been made, you will only be provided the (Add) option.
  7. Click “Save” to save your changes.

When adding a second direct deposit account, if a dollar amount is noted under “Deposit Type” in the first row, the second row can only be noted as “Balance”. If “Percent” is noted in the first row, the second row must either be noted as “Balance”, or a percentage that when added to the first row totals 100 percent. If only one direct deposit account is selected, “Percent” is the only option for “Deposit Type”.

Employees will be able to view the saved entry at the completion of the process. Changes will show in a “pending” status until Payroll runs the processes to upload the self-service data. This process is run before each regular payroll is processed.
