ePayroll Pay Stub

ePayroll PIN Reset Requirement

As part of the university’s ongoing commitment to secure employee personal information and as required by our ePayroll vendor (TALX), employees accessing the ePayroll System will be prompted to change their PIN every 90 days.

Changing PINs regularly is a good security practice, and changing them every 90 days is consistent with the password change policy on many important OSU systems, including the university’s PeopleSoft administrative systems. If you have any questions, please e-mail Payroll Services at epay@hr.osu.edu or call the TALX Customer Service Center at 1-866-678-3729.

The Ohio State University uses a paperless system for all paychecks and pay stub information. All faculty, staff and student employees can now receive their pay stub information online or via touch-tone telephone using an interactive voice response (IVR) system.

Receive your pay stub information at epayroll.theworknumber.com/osu or call toll-free 1-866-OSU-EPAY (1-866-678-3729).

NOTE: Effective Oct. 1 the City of Columbus is implementing a 0.5% income tax increase. More information is available here.

First Time Users

  1. Enter your 8 or 9 digit Ohio State ID number. Your 8 or 9 digit ID number can be obtained from your BuckID Card (if issued after 2002), Medical Center ID Badges, past pay stubs, and/or your departmental Human Resources Professional.
  2. Enter your 8 digit temporary PIN which is the 2 digits day and 2 digit year of your birthdate, and the last 4 digits of your social security number.
    example: if your birthday is January 5, 1974; and your SS number is 1111-11-8976; then your temporary PIN would be 05748976 (with no slashes).
  3. You will be prompted to immediately change your PIN to a secure number that only you will know. Your new PIN must be between 8 - 16 numbers.
  4. Once you have confirmed your new PIN, you can access the main menu where you will be able to receive your pay information.
