Checklist: Setting Up Payroll Direct Deposit

If you are new to Payroll, review a Direct Deposit checklist before you complete the configuration steps.

Step Description Location
1 Determine if net payroll should be posted directly to the employee's bank. You set the Post net payroll directly to bank option on the Payroll Setup form. Configuration > Payroll > General
2 Determine whether bonus and adjustment runs should be directly deposited. You set the Direct deposit for bonus/adjustments option on the Payroll Setup form.
3 Determine whether or not Social Security numbers print on the direct deposit report and ACH files. Configuration > Accounting > Company Settings > General tab
4 Set up firm-wide direct deposit information, such as ACH origination numbers. Configuration > Accounting > Banks > Direct Deposit tab
5

Set up direct deposit information for each employee on the Direct Deposit grid of the Accounting tab in the Employee Info Center.

You can specify payroll direct deposit and expense payment direct deposit information for a single account on the same row on the Direct Deposit grid. The Expense Repayments Method and Expense Repayments Amount/Percent fields do not have to be completed if you plan to process only payroll direct deposits.
