UW-Green Bay distributes paycheck earnings statements electronically. Through a secure file transfer protocol, your earnings statement record is created in an Outlook email message addressed to you. The day before payday, just log in to the UW-Green Bay network, access your email account, and pull up the message addressed to you from the Payroll Office. You may also access your email when away from campus using Web Outlook. We suggest you print the message and then delete it rather than filing it electronically.

The Outlook Introduction guide is available to assist with printing your earnings statement. In addition you can register for an Outlook email class. Questions about logging on to the network can be directed to the computer Help Desk at 465-2309.
