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).
First Time Users
- Enter your 8 digit Ohio State ID number. Your 8 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Once you have confirmed your new PIN, you can access the main menu where you will be able to receive your pay information.
