At the bottom of the earnings statement, there is a section titled Net Pay Distribution. This will indicate how your pay will be received.

Paper Paycheck
- If a net pay line begins with “Check”, a check number, and the account type is “Issue Chk”, this indicates your net pay will be on a paper paycheck and mailed to the home address that is listed in UCPath.
- The home address is used to determine in which medical plan employees can enroll and is where paychecks and/or paycheck statements are mailed if applicable. The mailing address is where W-2s are mailed.
- Employees who do not currently receive their pay via direct deposit will receive pay as a paper check mailed via U.S. Postal Service
- Employees who receive paper paychecks will receive the paychecks in the mail at their home address on file.
- Paper paychecks will be issued and sent on payday to an employee’s home address.

- Paper paychecks may take 2-4 days to arrive.
- UC is not responsible for delays caused by the U.S. Postal Services
