Set up Additional Direct Deposits for an Employee

You can set up additional direct deposit distributions for an employee who has requested that his/her net pay be deposited to more than one account.

You can set up additional direct deposit distributions for an employee who has requested that his/her net pay be deposited to more than one account.

The employee’s direct deposit status (Direct Deposit tab in PR Employees) must be either Prenote or Active to maintain multiple direct deposit distributions. For more information, see Setting up an Employee for Direct Deposit.

When you set up multiple direct deposit distributions, it is important to note that the system uses the sequence number to determine the order or processing (e.g. Seq #1 will be processed first, then Seq #2, and so on). If an employee's net pay is insufficient to cover a distribution, then all following sequences will be skipped. Therefore, make sure you enter distributions in the order of their importance.

Note: If an employee's net pay sufficiently covers all active distributions, any remaining net pay will be deposited using the information set up for the employee in PR Employees.

To set up a prenote for an additional deposit:

  1. In PR Employees, select the employee and click on the Add'l Direct Deposits tab.
  2. In the Seq field, enter the sequence number to identify the order in which this distribution should be processed. For example, if this distribution should be processed first, enter 1.
