Payroll Check Distribution
NYS payroll checks are direct deposited by NYS every 2 weeks, or are available for pickup at the Bursar’s office at 3 PM on the eve of the pay date, and for 30 days thereafter.
Payroll checks and direct deposit stubs are distributed at the Office of the Bursar (S-307) every other Wednesday starting at 3:00 pm.
At every payroll distribution, you must present a valid picture ID to collect your check and/or direct deposit stub. Without a valid picture ID you will not be able to collect your check/stub.
To collect a check and/or stub for a person other than yourself (spouse, colleague, boss, sibling, etc.) The owner of the check/stub must send an email to bursar@mec.cuny.edu authorizing Bursar to release a check/stub to a third party. Please be advised that individual email authorizations are not ongoing, you must email your authorization for each payroll distribution.
Offices and departments could authorize one person to collect several checks/stubs for that specific department/office. A “pick up” list must be emailed to bursar@mec.cuny.edu with the names of the people whose checks/stubs are to be released by group pick up. Each department/office is responsible to email bursar@mec.cuny.edu for changes and updates to their pick up list. The person authorized to collect for a department/office must sign for the pick-up list at the Bursar counter at the time of collecting the checks/stubs. To have a check/stub mailed to a personal address, the person must submit to Bursar a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Checks and/or stubs will not be mailed to personal addresses and/or to departments.
All uncollected checks will be mailed back to CUNY Central Payroll office after four payroll cycles. All uncollected direct deposit stubs will be shredded if not collected from Bursar within two payroll cycles.
We truly appreciate your understanding and support.
