Direct Deposit Information

[Customer Service]

An add-on feature for doing Direct Deposit for employees' pay is available for $295. With this optional module, you can create non-negotiable paychecks and electronic payroll files to submit to your employer's bank.

Here is how it works in 21st Century Accounting:

*You run Calculate Payroll as usual.
*You print non-negotiable checks and stubs for distribution to employees who have elected for Direct Deposit .
*The system posts the pay run to your books.
*The system creates an electronic file with employees' pay and bank account information.
* You submit the electronic file to the employer's bank, according to their specifications.

Direct Deposit (DD) module adds a new menu item to your payroll menu (Print Direct Deposit Paychecks) and adds new fields to the company configuration and employee's configuration pages. The module will generate a non-negotiable check/paystub report for each of the employees who have elected for direct deposit, and also creates the electronic file that instructs the bank where to send the employees' pay.

You will need to contact your bank for their requirements. 21st Century Accounting supports:
