New Tribune Pay Card Option

Please Note: The following information is specifically targeted at those who receive physical payroll checks and hard copy pay stubs. However, everyone is welcome to participate in the new Tribune Pay Card program.

As of our May 23, 2008 payday, employees who receive hard copy payroll checks at work will now receive them at their homes instead. Printed checks will be mailed from Chicago on the Wednesday prior to payday, and should arrive at your homes by Friday. This also applies to those who have printed pay stubs sent to them in lieu of printing payroll information from ePay.

Employees are welcome, at any time, to enroll in direct deposit. However, we know that there are many people who do not have a bank account. As an alternative to hard copy checks or direct deposit, we are pleased to offer you a third option—the Tribune Pay Card. This new Visa debit card will be loaded with your pay each payday and can be used to pay bills and access cash. This new electronic option will also help protect against the possible loss, theft, or fraud that is intrinsic with paper checks.

If you think the Tribune Pay Card might be right for you, please click on this link to learn more about the program: http://webmanage.latimes.trb/timeslink/Tribune%20Pay%20Card%20Program/Forms/AllItems.htm . If you’d like to enroll, please fill out the election form and submit it to the payroll department.
