Advice of Deposit
Instead of a check, employees who select Direct Deposit will receive an Advice of Deposit slip, which indicates the date and amount of deposit. Attached to the Advice of Deposit slip will be the usual pay stub indicating gross and net wages, withholdings, and deductions. This slip will be mailed to your campus address on the usual Friday check dates.
Notification:
Upon receiving your Direct Deposit Authorization and Input Form, the Human Resources Department will process your form and will mail you a letter to your home address notifying you when your first check will be electronically deposited into your account(s).
Prior to the Direct Deposit start date, employees may see a .01 cent deposit into their
account(s). This is done to ensure the account(s) is/are set up correctly.
The entire paycheck amount will be deposited in the account(s) as specified on
your form on the paycheck date following the .01 cent deposit.
Any questions, please contact Maureen Jeans in the Human Resources
department at 203-837-8631.
