Direct Deposit
Employees are encouraged to use direct deposit whenever possible. Your money is guaranteed on pay day - no matter where you happen to be on that day. You can also choose to setup multiple distributions, allowing your money to be deposited at different financial institutions. For example, you can choose to have a portion of your paycheck deposited into your checking account at one bank and the remainder deposited into your savings account at another bank.
Two ways to enroll:
- online via self-service; or
- through your agency's HR/Payroll staff via the Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form
Be sure to obtain your institution's routing number and your account number from a check rather than a routing slip!
Note: after signing-up for direct deposit it may take up to two pay periods for your check to automatically deposit; until that time you will continue to receive a paper check. Check the Direct Deposit Pre-Note Schedule for details.
If you elect to receive a paper paycheck instead of using direct deposit, your paycheck delivery method will depend on your agency's policy (some agencies deliver the paycheck to your mailbox; others let the postal service mail the paycheck to your mailing address on record).
