Payslips

In October 2015 printed payslips were phased out.

Online payslips are accessed via the Core Portal, using your Campus Account credentials. For full details see the Payroll Office’s Payslips page.

For anyone having difficulty printing a payslip, the following information on the Payslip FAQ page may be useful:

Q. Do I have a legal entitlement to a printed payslip?
A. NUI Galway is legally required to provide employees with access to a Payslip and the facility to print this payslip if the employee so wishes. For certified payslips please bring a printed copy of your payslips to the Accounts Reception in the Quadrangle to be stamped.

Information about payroll dates may be found on the Payroll Office’s Payment Dates page

Trade union dues

Trade unions normally offer a reduced rate or a life membership option to retired staff who wish to continue as members.

Note: If you wish to remain a member of your trade union, you must ask for the appropriate deduction to be made. Without that initiative on your part, payment of union dues will automatically cease from the date of your retirement.
