Faculty Payment Options
Due to recent changes in the Internal Revenue Services regulations Section 409A concerning deferred compensation, all faculty with academic appointments are required to make a one-time confirmation of your elected pay option to be paid either over the months of academic year, or over 12 months. This election is irrevocable during the academic year and will apply to subsequent years unless you change it. You may change your pay option only prior to the next academic year.
Log onto eTrac to submit your Faculty Pay Option Confirmation online.

Direct Deposit Signup & Changes
Are you direct depositing your pay check to your banks? If not, you can sign up for Direct Deposit from eTrac.
Set up Direct Deposit to have your paycheck electronically transferred to your bank account(s) on pay day. You can distribute different percentages of your pay to multiple accounts and change or cancel it at any time. Setting up Direct Deposit requires several weeks to become effective as we need to notify your financial institutions and wait to receive authorization back from them to allow the electronic transfers.
If you currently have Direct Deposit, you can use eTrac to change the distributions of your pay to different bank accounts.
