To provide a secure, confidential, convenient, timely, and cost effective method for transmitting payroll related payments to employees.
All University employees, with exceptions noted below, are required to receive payroll related payments via direct deposit.
This policy is implemented in accordance with LA Revised Statue 39:247.
It is the employee’s responsibility to notify the Payroll Office when there is any change to their bank and/or bank account(s) that affects their direct deposit by completing a new Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement. Additionally, it is the employee’s responsibility to ensure that funds were posted via direct deposit prior to disbursing funds from their account.
Should an employee fail to notify the Payroll Office that a bank account was closed; the University will not issue a paper check until the funds are received from the banking institution.
The University is not liable for any non-returned funds that were held by the banking institution. If the funds are not returned by the banking institution due to charges owed by the employee, a paper check will not be issued.
Direct Deposit should normally be effective on the 2nd payroll cycle (2nd check) following the receipt of the Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement in the Payroll Office.
The Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement should be returned to Payroll.
All newly hired employees or re-hired employees who are required to participate in Direct Deposit must complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement within ten (10) days of hire or re-hire date as a condition of employment.

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
