FAQ: Direct Deposit

What if I want to make a change?

Simply file a new authorization form. If you want to change the bank and checking account to which your net salary is deposited, check the "Change" block and enter the entire account number. This must be done even if you are remaining with the same bank but changing account numbers.

Submit the new authorization form to Central Payroll and keep your copy as a record of your request. The Direct Deposit to your old bank will stop within 21 days after Central Payroll receives your new authorization form. The Direct Deposit to your new bank and account will start after two pay periods. In the interim you will receive paychecks.
