As a new hire, if an employee does not signup for direct deposit prior to their first check being processed, they will be paid with a paper check. Once the employee sets up their account information for direct deposit, the account must go through the pre-note process. A file with the new account information is sent to the financial institution that was selected by the employee. The account information is then validated or rejected by the financial institution. Once account information is validated the direct deposit will take effect by the next paycheck. This process is to ensure the security of the funds is deposited to the employee correctly.
If an employee is required by State statute to use direct deposit, their payroll office will follow-up with them to ensure compliance.
