Payroll Updates, January 2026

• Choose Electronic W-2 Delivery

  To reduce printing and conserve resources, we encourage employees to select electronic delivery of their W-2. You can make this election in the Employee Dashboard on .

  Please note: While W-2s have historically been available in Griz Portal regardless of delivery preference, this will change beginning in 2026. If you do not have an electronic W-2 election on file, your W-2 will be printed and mailed and will no longer be accessible in Griz Portal. Once you elect electronic delivery, that preference will remain in effect unless you revoke it or separate from employment with the University.

  For step-by-step instructions on accessing your W-2 in Griz Portal or providing electronic consent for future W-2 delivery, please .

• Paper Paycheck Changes

  Beginning March 1, 2026, paper paychecks will no longer be mailed due to ongoing mail delivery delays and reliability issues. Instead, all paper checks will be available for pickup at the Workforce Support Center (Lommasson 229) starting at 8 a.m. on the Wednesday of each payday.

• Enroll in Direct Deposit

  • Faster access to funds: Pay is deposited directly into your bank account on payday, with no mail delays.
  • Convenience: No trips to the bank—funds are transferred automatically.
  • Security: Reduces the risk of lost, stolen, or forged checks.
  • Reliability: Payments are consistent, even if you’re on vacation or working remotely.
  • Cost savings: Helps avoid check-cashing fees, overdrafts, and late fees.
  • Environmental impact: Reduces paper use and transportation-related waste.

  Direct deposit can be set up through the Employee Dashboard in . The Payroll team is happy to assist anyone who needs help with this process.
