Method Three

You use method three if employees want to deposit earnings into accounts that are held by organizations that require multiple reference numbers to process transactions. To enter these additional reference numbers, you must set up a DBA, add that DBA to the employee's DBA instructions, and then attach the reference numbers to the employee's DBA instructions. You must also add the DBA to UDC 06/BC, and to the employee's automatic deposit instructions.

Using DBA reference data (which you access from the employee's DBA instructions), you can attach as many as three reference numbers to each DBA instruction. These reference data fields can be used to enter name, code, and reference numbers for the employee's account.

This example illustrates the steps that you must take to process payments for an employee who requires a method-three automatic deposit:

Employee B must deposit 200 NZD into a District Court account each pay period. The court requires that three reference numbers are attached to the deposit transaction for it to be processed correctly. To accommodate this scenario:

  • Set up deduction 1516 for the District Court.

    This is a zero-amount deduction that has no effect on the employee's earnings.

  • Add DBA 1516 to UDC 06/BC, leaving the Description 2 column blank.

  • Add DBA 1516 to the employee's DBA instructions.

  • Attach reference numbers to the employee's District Court DBA instruction.

  • Add the District Court record to the employee's automatic deposit instructions, entering the full bank account number of the organization that the employee is depositing in, in the Bank Account field.

    This table illustrates how you might set up the automatic deposit instructions for this employee:

The number of DBAs that you set up depends upon the organization's preferences, and the number of method-three deposits that the employees need to make. If no employees within the organization require more than one deposit to an organization that requires multiple references, you can set up only one DBA.

To determine the minimum number of DBAs that you must set up, you must determine the maximum number of deposits that any employee must make to an organization that requires multiple reference numbers. For example, if one employee in the organization must make five separate deposits to different organizations, and all of those organizations require multiple reference numbers, you must create five separate deductions. This is necessary so that the employee has five different DBA instructions, each with a unique DBA, to which the account-specific reference numbers are attached.
