Direct Deposit Information
Overview
Use the Direct Deposit Information screen to enter bank account information for employee deposits.
The entry of information on this screen is optional, although if you use NACHA you will want to complete the information on this screen in order to create a file which can then be transmitted to a bank.
The same Routing and Account number can be used for both Savings and Checking Accounts. Since credit unions typically use the same account number for both checking and savings accounts, the uniqueness of the accounts is based solely on the Account Type (Savings or Checking).
The first time you set up Direct Deposit Information, and then close the screen, the system prompts you with this message:
Select Yes to enable and select (check) the Begin Direct Deposit check box on the Employee Master File (Pay Info tab).
Select No to return to Employee Master File (Pay Info tab). The Begin Direct Deposit check box is enabled, but is not selected. You can select this check box at any time to start direct deposit for the employee.
To cancel Direct Deposit for an employee, clear the Begin Direct Deposit check box on the Employee Master File (Pay Info tab). This message displays:
This screen can be accessed from the Pay Info tab screen by clicking the Direct Deposit Information button.
