January 7, 2005 -- Beginning next month, there will be no need to wait by the mailbox to get your paycheck statement. On Jan. 1, U.Va. will begin distributing statements of earnings to employees electronically. The new process will replace paper statements that are currently mailed to employees’ home addresses.

According to the human resources department, the new Self-Service Pay Slip will allow employees to access payroll data in a more timely manner from anywhere that has Internet access, avoid delivery to an incorrect address, and view and print previous online statements. Employees who do not have access to computers may get their pay slips at the Human Resources Payroll office. Department representatives feel confident there will not be an overflow of people at the payroll office on payday. To ease the transition to the new system, the University will continue to mail earnings statements in January and February. After that, only online SOE’s will be available.
