Setting up bank details

Administrators and payroll administrators can set up bank details for employees within an organization.

  1. For administrators, select Administrator > Resources > Payroll > Bank Details Setup.

    For payroll administrators, select Payroll Administrators > Setup > Bank Details > Bank Details Setup.

  2. Specify this information:
    Maximum Number of Accounts
    Specify the maximum number of bank accounts that are allowed for each employee in the organization.
    Waive Receipt
    Select this check box to waive direct deposit receipt numbers.

    If the Enable Payroll Edits check box is selected or an employee is paid by HR Payroll, then the waive receipt is valid only on the default account.

    Partial Direct Deposit
    Select this check box to enable partial direct deposits.

    If the Enable Payroll Edits check box is selected or the employee is paid by HR Payroll, then less than 100% of total distributions are enabled.

    Include In Hire And Rehire Actions
    Select this check box to use default employee bank details values for newly hired or rehired resources.
    Enable Payroll Edits
    Select this check box to interface employee bank data to HR Payroll for payroll direct deposit processing. If you select this check box, then you can enable these additional required fields on the records of employee bank details:
    • Account Type

      This field is required for non-Canadian employees.

    • Bank Routing Number

      If the International Bank Information is not specified, then this field is required for non-Canadian employees.

    • Bank Institution Number

      This field is required for Canadian employees.

    • Bank Transit Number

      This field is required for Canadian employees.

    • Payment Description

      This field is required for all employees.

    If this check box is cleared and a distribution order number is specified on an employee bank details record, the original distribution order number is retained. If a distribution order number is not specified, then the next incremental number is automatically used. If your organization requires a specific distribution order number, then you must specify that number.

    Deduction Cycles
    Select the check box to indicate that the direct deposit is deducted for that cycle. You can select up to nine cycles. If no deduction cycles are selected, then a direct deposit distribution is not created for this bank details record when payroll is processed.

    The selected values for deduction cycles are also used for new employee bank details records.

    Employee Authorization Message
    Specify the message that is displayed when an employee creates a new employee bank details record.
    Prenotify Status
    Select a prenotify status. The selected prenotify status is used on new employee bank details records.

    If the organization's bank account is configured to prenote, then prenotifications are created as part of the payroll cycle. Employee bank details record is updated to prenotified status in the first payroll cycle, then it is updated to an accepted status in the next payroll cycle. If the organization's bank account is not configured to prenote, then when the employee bank details are updated to an accepted status when the payroll cycle is run.

    See Prenotify status.
