FAQ: Direct Deposit

How does Direct Deposit work?

On paydays, your net pay is deposited into your account by electronic fund transfer based on information provided by the Central Payroll Bureau to your bank through the State Treasurer's Office. You don't have to be in your office to pick up your check, wait in line on payday to deposit your check, or make special arrangements when you are on vacation or traveling on business.
