This topic describes how to set up an employee's payroll for direct deposit to his or her personal bank accounts. If you haven't already done so, add the employee into the system before continuing. Your site may also be configured to only allow a single direct deposit setup per employee. If this is the case, when attempting to add a new bank direct deposit setup and one already exists, a window will appear to indicate this situation.

Note: For each employee, a setup with the Amount Type of Remaining Amount must be set up. If your site restricts setups to a single direct deposit per employee, then you must set Amount Type to Remaining Amount. If multiple setups are allowed, one of the setups must be Remaining Amount. -
Field Description Fixed Amount The deposit is based on a set amount. Percent Deposit is based on a percentage of pay. Remaining Amount Deposit is based on money that is left over after other deposits are made. When the Remaining Amount is selected, then the Amount field will be grayed out, meaning the value for Remaining Amount need not be entered. - Based on the Amount Type selected, the next field will change to one of the following:
Field Description Amount Enter the amount in monetary format, i.e. 525.00 Percent A percentage of the total pay that should be deposited. If all pay is intended for this bank, please use "Remaining Amount". Percent is helpful for secondary accounts; for example: 10% into a Checking account - Sequence: Enter a value to indicate the order in which funds should be distributed among the employee's banks. If there is a bank with a sequence of 1 and another bank with a sequence of 2, the system will distribute the full amount from 1 before looking at 2.
- Prenote Send Date, Prenote Approve Date: These dates can be entered by either selecting from the drop-down or manually typed in the MM/DD/YYYY format.
If the prenote is not required for the staffing company, then the current date populates on the Pre note Send Date and Approved Date, otherwise, it appears blank. When the ACH is generated next time, those pre-notes will be included in the ACH and sent to the bank. The pre-note sent date is updated with the date the ACH was generated, and the pre-note approved "dateis" updated with the current date plus the number of days specified in the config option PrenoteApprovalDay. - Active: This checkbox is used to set this bank direct deposit configuration as active or inactive. The Active checkbox is checked by default. If unchecked, a window appears confirming you want to make the bank direct deposit inactive.
- Click the Save Bank icon in the upper-left corner of the window to save this direct deposit record. Upon clicking the Save Bank icon, the new bank direct deposit will be listed in the grid in the upper part of the window. To see detailed information for any of the saved banks, highlight the record and the details will be shown below.
