In a memorandum to you dated October 15, 2007, information was provided about the University’s E-Pay program, which refers to both the electronic deposit and notification of pay. The E-Pay program was included as one of the University’s PACE initiatives for implementation during fiscal year 2007-08. The memorandum described the advantages of direct deposit of pay in efficiency and effectiveness for both employees and the University. The ability to view details of earnings and deductions through secured web access of direct deposit notifications was also described, and information on computer access and training and banking services was provided. The purposes of this memorandum are to:

• request your assistance to ensure all employees complete enrollment in direct deposit of pay,
•  notify you regarding a change in the distribution process for paychecks, and
•  remind you about web access to pay information.
