The article you're viewing now is scheduled to be sunset on 7/1/2024 due to the fact that the content is to be maintained in the new format going forward. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

Introduction

The purpose of this article is to review and explain the options under Direct Deposit in Employee Self-Service.
