Beginning November 4, 2019, UW–Madison employees will be able to manage direct deposit of their paycheck online through MyUW. Employees will be able to add, edit, or delete a direct deposit account online from their computer, smart phone, or tablet. It will no longer be necessary to submit a paper form, although paper forms will still be accepted. To get started, log in to MyUW, launch the Payroll Information module, and click on “Update Direct Deposit.” Learn more at hr.wisc.edu/pay/direct-deposit.

The UW Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) 403(b) Program is a voluntary, supplemental retirement savings program that allows employees to invest a portion of their income on a pre-tax basis, after-tax (Roth) basis, or a combination of both.
