Direct Deposit
Included on this page:
If you complete the Direct Deposit Authorization
form, your payment will
be electronically deposited into your bank account each
payday.
You will receive an Advice
of Deposit/Earnings Statement each payday rather than a regular check.
The information provided on the Advice of Deposit is identical to the
information on a paycheck.
The Direct Deposit form is also used if you want to change the bank
account where your payment is deposited or to cancel direct deposit.
Please note that the Payroll Office must receive the signed Direct
Deposit Authorization Form at least 7 days prior to payday to start,
change or stop direct deposits. The direct deposit tape is created
the night of payroll processing and cannot be altered.
It saves you time:
Your net pay is automatically deposited to your checking or savings
account, even when:
- You are on vacation
- You are traveling
- You are sick
Direct deposit is safe:
- No worry about lost or stolen paychecks
- No worry about forged paychecks
- No danger of fraud
