Add or Change My Direct Deposit Information
This job aid is used to add and change direct deposits. Direct deposits are used to make payroll check payments to a designated bank account.
About Direct Deposit Setup Fields:
Fields for direct deposit entry can come from a personal check or a bank letter. Both items will display the routing number and account number for entry.
Note: Check bank, routing and check number will often be referred to as the Micr line.
To add direct deposit information:
Navigation: Myself> Pay > Direct Deposit
- At Things I Can Do, select Add or Add Direct Deposit.
- Enter Bank name, if available.
- Enter Routing number.
- Enter Account number.
Note: Routing numbers will display an error if it is less than 9 digits or is not a valid U.S. bank routing number. Account numbers do not have a way to be validated so no errors will display.
- Enter Account type.
Note: Selecting an invalid account type can potentially cause the bank to reject the payroll payment back to the organization. Select Checking or Savings appropriately to the account being entered.
- Select Save.
To change direct deposit information:
Update direct deposit information for payroll paycheck payments.
- From Direct Deposit Summary, select the account that needs to be updated.
- Select Flat Amount, if applicable.
- Enter adjusted Flat Amount.
- Select Save.
- Select the second account.
- Select Available Balance.
- Select Save.
Note: There should be at least one direct deposit account showing active, with an Available balance. If there is one account, this means the entire direct deposit will go to this account. If multiple accounts are active, the available balance will be the rest of the direct deposit minus the designated flat amounts or percentages.
