Adding/Changing Direct Deposit 

Add or Change Direct Deposit Accounts 

Add or change direct deposit accounts on the Direct Deposit Detail page. 

Navigation: Menu > Myself > Pay > Direct Deposit

Tip: If you are unable to add, change, or archive information on the page, it may be due to how your company has configured the system. Please contact you company's system administrator for more details.

1. From the Direct Deposit Summary page, complete one of the following: 

• To add a direct deposit account, select Add. 

• To change direct deposit account information, select an account from the list.

2. From the Direct Deposit Detail page, employees can enter a description, if needed. Managers and administrators cannot view this field. 

3. Add a traditional bank account:

a. In the Employee Bank info field, select a bank name.

Note: The Employee Bank info field is only available if configured. Skip this step if the field is not available.

b. Enter a routing number and an account number. Confirm with your financial institution the correct ABA routing number specific to your direct deposit.

c. Select a bank account type: Checking, Debit Card, or Savings.

4. Select a status of Active or Inactive for the account.

5. In the Amount section, complete one of the following:

• To specify a specific dollar amount, select the Flat Amount radio button and enter the dollar amount without a dollar sign.

• To specify a specific percentage, select the Percent Amount radio button and enter the percentage without a percent sign.

• To specify the available balance, select the Available Balance radio button.

NOTE:All direct deposit allocation percentages are rounded to the nearest hundredth. For example, you can enter 90.99% as an allocation percentage for an account which will ound up to 91%. 99.4% is the greatest percentage allowed. Best practices are to create an available balance account along with a percentage account to capture the entire amount.

6. Select Save.
TIP: A warning may appear depending on your company preferences indicating that this will result in a Prenote rather than a Direct Deposit. A Prenote account receives a zero balance direct deposit to test the transfer until a payroll is processed. The account is converted to a Direct Deposit after this account test is complete.

7. Select Ignore Warnings.

8. Select Submit.
    - The Direct Deposit Summary page appears with the new account.

Direct Deposit Account Types
You can create three types of direct deposit accounts: available balance, flat amount, or percent amount.

Percent Amount
Percentage amount accounts receive a percentage of the net pay to the designated direct deposit account.
All percentages are rounded to the nearest hundredth. For example, 90.99% is rounded up to 91%. 99.4% is the greatest percentage allowed. As a best practice, create an available balance account along with a percentage account to capture the entire amount.

Note: You can create either flat amount or percent amount accounts, but you cannot create a combination of both flat and percent accounts.

Flat Amount 

A flat dollar amount of the net pay is sent to a flat amount direct deposit account. 

Depending on your configuration, the system may process partial amounts for flat amount accounts in two different ways: 

• • By default, if there are not enough funds to cover the flat amount, then no funds will be sent to flat amount account. Instead, all partial funds are sent to the available balance account. 

  • If the system is configured to allow partial dollar amounts, the following message is displayed: "Accounts with an active status and an amount are displayed in the order they will be funded." In this case, when a deposit is less than the dollar amount designated for the flat amount account, the partial amount is deposited. The system funds the accounts in the priority order listed on the screen until the pay is exhausted. 

Note: You can create either flat amount or percent amount accounts, but you cannot create a combinate of both flat and percent accounts. 

Available Balance 

• • After other direct deposit account rules have been applied, the remaining net pay is sent to the designated available balance account. 

• • As a best practice, when only one account for 100% of the amount is required, create a single available balance account. 

  • You cannot have multiple available balance accounts regardless of the status (active or inactive). To add a new available balance account, you must first archive the existing available balance account. Archiving the account will remove the account but save the historical data. 

Archive Direct Deposit Accounts
When you archive a direct deposit account, the system saves the historical data.
