  3. OSU goes to direct-deposit only

    Submitted by Robin Frazier, frazier.398@osu.edu

    As of July 2019, Ohio State will no longer issue paper checks and will instead distribute pay solely by direct deposit. The vast majority of employees already use this option, but there are about 3,500 who continue to receive paper checks through the mail. The university will be notifying affected employees starting this week so that they may choose a direct deposit option - either a bank account or a Global Cash Card paycard - well in advance of July. For more information, see busfin.osu.edu/direct-deposit or contact payroll@osu.edu for questions.
