How do I use Direct Deposit?
Ask the payroll department for a direct deposit authorization form. Fill out your banks transit routing number and account number, sign and return to the payroll department with verification of the account (usually a void check or documentation of savings account number from bank). It's a very simple process to get started. Your direct deposit will usually start within 1 or 2 pay periods. You will receive a direct deposit advice that details your gross pay and associated deductions and the net amount deposited to your bank account.
You could also print and fill out the following form, and hand it in to Payroll:
