Direct Deposit

Kansas State University requires payroll direct deposit for all employees. For the security of our employees, Human Resources is currently updating our procedures for accepting and processing Direct Deposit requests and changes.

Employees with an existing checking or savings account may sign up for direct deposit or make changes to their direct deposit by completing an Authorization for Direct Deposit of Employee Pay and submitting it to Human Resources. Submission of this form must be in person and validated through an employee identification process.

Paycard Program

The State of Kansas has a partnership with Skylight Financial, Inc. to provide a Skylight paycard to employees who do not have a checking or savings account. Contact Corey Springer at caspring@ksu.edu or (785) 532-6277 for more information.
