Direct Deposit

Why should I sign up for direct deposit?

Direct deposit is fast, convenient, and saves you time

You don't have to go to the office to pick up your check, then down to the bank to wait in line to deposit your check. There is no waiting for the check to clear before the funds are available. Payroll wires the money to your bank or credit union so they can put the money in your account at 12:01 a.m. on payday.

Direct deposit is confidential and safe

Direct deposit is more confidential than a check; a check passes through many more hands than an electronic transfer.
Payments made by direct deposit do not get lost in the mail. If a paycheck is lost in the mail, we require a waiting period of five mail delivery days before we can place the stop payment, and it takes an additional two or three days for the new check to be reissued, encoded by the county, and ready for you to pick up.

And you still get a detailed listing of your deductions

Payroll sends you a payment stub that has the same information you received on your paycheck. It will show how much was deposited into your account and how much was taken out for taxes and other deductions.

How do I sign up?

Direct deposit takes two payroll cycles to set up.
Submit the completed form by the tenth of the month; you will receive a paycheck in the regular way for that month. On payday of the following month you will receive a direct deposit stub, and your money will already be in your account!

Would you like to sign up for direct deposit? You can print a copy of the form to complete and send to Payroll, or you can call Payroll at ext. 4201 and ask for a form to be sent to you.
