For any payroll related questions or issues, you will need to reach out to your supervisor or department administrator first as all payroll actions are submitted and approved by your department. If your department is not able to answer your questions, please submit an inquiry. We will be happy to assist you!

Pitt Worx
Pitt Worx is the University of Pittsburgh’s cloud-based human resources and payroll system. The user-friendly interface allows employees to view their pay statement, update direct deposit and tax elections, enroll in benefits, and submit timecards all in one location through employee self-service.
- Employee-Self Service
-
The University of Pittsburgh offers employee self-service for securely viewing your payslips and making changes to your address, direct deposit, and IRS Form W-4.
After your first day of work, we recommend that you login to employee self-service to verify the information you provided during the hiring process.
Student’s originally from outside of the Pittsburgh City limits are encouraged to verify that they have provided the address of their permanent residence at the time of hire. This may be your parent’s address in another PA location or outside of PA. The address that you provide impacts your local tax withholding. For example, Pittsburgh has a 1% non-resident withholding tax for student employees working here temporarily. If you provided your campus address, or an address for a temporary apartment in the city, this will be considered your permanent address and 3% Pittsburgh residence tax will be withheld. For more information on how to determine your permanent address, see PA Department of Revenue website.
To learn how to check or make changes to the address you provided at the time you were hired, visit the view and update address page.
