Direct Deposit – Amount Account(s)

Directive Statement

This directive establishes the proper methods of adding direct deposit account(s) that can have a stated amount (called an “amount account”).  You can add two Amount Accounts in addition to your Balance Account.  Your monies will go into your amount account first, with any remainder going into your Balance Account.

Travel reimbursements will be deposited into your first amount account (if you have more than one).

Please note, if the bank rejects the ACH attempt to an Amount Account, Payroll Services will delete the Amount Account and send remaining payment to the balance account within a week.  You may add the account back with the correct banking information.
