Direct Deposit and Pay Check Information

NAU employees are paid every other Friday and over 90% of our employees receive their pay through direct deposit. NAU offers our employees two options to receive their biweekly payments: Direct Deposit into your personal bank account, or a paper check.

NAU strongly encourages all employees to use electronic direct deposit. It is a safe, secure and efficient way to receive your pay every two weeks. All employees can provide or update their banking information at any time through with Employee Self Service by through  LOUIE – HR.

Direct deposit

Direct deposit is safe, confidential, and convenient. Using direct deposit has a number of benefits:

• Have your pay sent to the financial institution(s) of your choice.
• Decide how to divide your net pay among your accounts (checking, savings, etc.), and it will be done automatically each payday.
• Currently you can elect to have your pay divided between up to three different banks/accounts of your choice.

Signing up for or updating direct deposit

To sign up for direct deposit, log in to  LOUIE – HR and click on Payroll and Compensation tile > select Direct Deposit and enter the required information. You’ll need to know the routing number and your bank account number (usually found on your checks or your bank statement). If you aren’t sure, please contact your bank in order to be certain the information is accurate.  NOTE:  Deposit Slips often do NOT contain the correct routing information.

• In order for your direct deposit to begin on the next payday, you must sign up no later than the Sunday before that payday – one week in advance
• Once you have signed up for direct deposit, please be aware of the following important updates regarding how your funds are disbursed:

Separate Systems for Direct Deposit

There are now two distinct systems for managing direct deposit information:

• LOUIE HR – Used for payroll deposits.
• LOUIE CS – Used for refunds and other payments processed through Student and Departmental Account Services (SDAS).

What This Means for You

If you are an employee, you must maintain your payroll direct deposit information in LOUIE HR.

If you are expecting refunds or other payments through SDAS, you must also maintain direct deposit information in LOUIE CS.

These systems are not connected, so updates in one do not carry over to the other.

Action Required

To ensure timely and accurate disbursement of funds, please verify and update your direct deposit information in both LOUIE HR and LOUIE CS as applicable.

No Direct Deposit — paper check will be issued.
