The mission of the Payroll Department is to provide the highest level of payroll service to Northern Kentucky University employees.
At the same time, it is our responsibility to insure that payments are processed in accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the various taxing authorities and Northern Kentucky University policy and procedures as authorized by the Board of Regents.
NKU employees can receive their salary paycheck via direct deposit into a bank account. If you choose not to have direct deposit, your check is mailed on pay date to your home address.
Direct Deposit Authorization forms must be submitted in person with a photo ID in the payroll office in AC 613 or this can be submitted via a secure dropbox. Please contact payroll to send you an invitation to the dropbox. Payroll can be contacted at: Kellie Ziesemer ziesemerk1@nku.edu or Jennifer Ruschman ruschmanj4@nku.edu.
DO NOT SEND FORM BY FAX OR EMAIL. Direct Deposit is sent to the bank with our pay date as the effective date. Banking institutes have until midnight on pay date to deposit the funds into your account.
