Timesheets

In order to receive your paycheck, you must submit a timesheet for each period worked.  To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Follow the listing of pay periods on the Work-Study pay schedule.
2. Go to the My Timesheets section of the FWS system.
3. Create an online timesheet for the corresponding period.
4. Submit timesheet to supervisor/departmental administrator for approval by the due date on the FWS Pay Schedule.

A full guide to creating and submitting timesheets is available in the Online System Users Guide section.

Your paycheck may be delayed if an incomplete or incorrect timesheet is submitted.

Direct Deposit of Paychecks

Columbia University offers the convenience of having paychecks directly deposited into an employee's bank account.  You can sign up for direct deposit safely and securely through myColumbia.  To enroll, login with your Columbia UNI. Click on the Faculty & Staff tab, then "View your Direct Deposit Information." Select "Add Account" to provide the information for the bank account to which you'd like your paychecks deposited. Note: Enrolling in direct deposit of your University paycheck does not constitute enrolling in automatic deposit of refund checks.  To sign up for direct deposit of refund checks, visit SSOL.
