If you need to cancel a payment to an employee, you must submit a pay stop request in the Adjustment Notification Application (ANA). The unit must approve the pay stop request and University Payroll and Benefits (UPB) must receive the request no later than 5:00pm three days before the pay date.

For Direct Deposits: Meeting this deadline ensures that the payment does not get deposited into the employee’s account. Missing this deadline could result in funds not returned to the University.

For Check Distributions: Checks should be returned to UPB with the Return Payroll Checks form.
