To add a direct deposit transaction, employees enter:

  • Payment Method

  • Bank and account information

  • Deposit type (amount or percent ) and the value

Employees can also edit, update or remove direct deposit accounts.

Note: (USA) Pre-notification may affect the timing of the direct deposit updates in U.S.

Note: (USA, Canada and USF) If all direct deposit entries are removed, the user will not be able to add new account(s) until the following day. The user will be notified of this restriction when deleting the last account in self-service.

Email Notification

If direct deposit email notifications are configured on the Direct Deposit Controls Page, the system sends direct deposit notifications to the employee, the payroll administrator, or both. Notifications are sent any time employee direct deposit information is entered or updated.

Important! Notification emails are sent to the primary email address for the recipient’s User Profile, not to the email address in the recipient’s HR personal data record.

Employees cannot update their own User Profile email address. Administrators are responsible for maintaining this information. To view or update the email address for a User Profile, click the Edit Email Addresses link on the General page of the User Profiles component (PeopleTools > Security > User Profiles > User Profiles).

Push Notifications/Alerts

If direct deposit alerts are enabled on the Direct Deposit Controls Page, the system sends push notifications to the employee, the payroll administrator, or both. Notifications are sent any time employee direct deposit information is entered or updated.

Account Masking

If direct deposit account masking is enabled, the system masks all but the last four digits of a direct deposit account number on employee direct deposit pages, administrator direct deposit pages, and wage statements (PDF and non-PDF paychecks and pay advices), depending on the configuration. Masking is optional, but strongly recommended.

For more information on masking functionally, see:

Use the Direct Deposit page (PY_IC_DIR_DEP_FL) to view your current direct deposit information. You can also add a new direct deposit information using this page.
