Payslip features and terms

A detailed description of all the features and terms on your payslip is provided on the Payroll Office website.

The administration of weekly and monthly payroll is managed by the UCD Payroll Office, while the administration of the ESS system is managed by UCD HR.

There are a number of benefits in changing to an online system. Providing payslip information online:

  • Gives quick and easy access to historical information
  • Allows for a more secure delivery of the payslip
  • Delivers a more informative payslip (current rate of pay and current scale included)
  • Has a positive environmental impact by reducing the amount of paper produced by the University
  • The service is in use by a number of other organisations, including Enterprise Ireland, Department of Finance, and Department of Justice

UCD is legally required to provide employees with access to a Payslip and the facility to print this payslip if the employee so wishes. You can do this via Employee Self Service.

Yes, Banks and Financial Institutions will accept a print out of the online payslip as proof of payment.

If you have further queries relating only to your online payslip, please contact the Payroll Office.
