Here’s What You Need to Know
Friday is pay day! Students will receive an email from Payroll stating that they have a pay statement available, whether the check is in physical form or direct deposited.
You’ll receive your first payment on the Friday of the second week of work, provided all required paperwork has been completed by the employing department by the weekly deadline. If you have multiple jobs at Boston University, your earnings from all your jobs will be combined into one payment for each payroll period.

How You’ll Get Paid
The fastest and easiest way to get paid is through direct deposit. Prior to being set up for direct deposit, you’ll be paid via physical paper checks mailed through USPS. To learn more about physical paychecks, check our Paycheck Information and Procedures.
