How to 'Opt In/Opt Out'

Instructions for the "Opt In/Opt Out" process:

For employees who have access to ESS:

Log into ESS from MyUW. From the main ESS page, select the "Earnings" tab, then select the "Printable Earnings Statement" tab. This page has information about the upcoming new printable earnings statement and the "Opt In/Opt Out" option (Direct Deposit Printed Pay Advice). If you would like to receive a printed pay advice, click the button to the left of the statement. An email confirmation will be sent to you within 24 hours. This option can be changed at any time if you decide to "Opt Out" from receiving a printed paper advice.

For employees without access to ESS:

If the employee does not have access to ESS and would like to "Opt In" to receive their direct deposit printed pay advice, it is the responsibility of the departmental payroll coordinator to process this request. This is done by the payroll coordinator in Employee Overview.

From the OPUS Gateway, select Employee Overview and log in using your UWNetID, password and SecureID. Enter the selection information to locate the employee. Select the "Employee Info" tab. In the lower left quadrant, the Payment Type field will have a link for the advice slip option if the employee is on direct deposit. This link will bring up the same "Opt In/Opt Out" box that an employee sees in ESS. If the employee would like to receive a printed pay advice, click the button to the left of the statement. An email confirmation will be sent to the employee within 24 hours. This option can be changed at any time if the employee decides to "Opt Out" from receiving a printed paper advice.
