| Attention student employees |
Did you know that your timecard and monthly paystubs are now available online? Simply login into Info Center with your Wartburg credentials and:
- Select “Pay Stub” under the Application tab to view your paystub.
- Select “KnightTime Timecard” under the Employment tab to review your work hours.
Students are strongly encouraged to sign up for direct deposit or the student payroll deduction agreement. Both of these options eliminate the possibility of lost or stale-dated paychecks as well as having to remember to pick up paper paychecks from the Business Office each month. The deadline for electing each of these options is the first business day of the month in which you would like to have the change effective on your paycheck (i.e. Dec. 1 deadline for the Dec. 15 payroll).
Students who would like to have their Dec. 15 paycheck mailed to their home address may sign up in the Business Office, Luther Hall 212. |
