Human Resources - Direct Deposit Information
Employees of Western Connecticut State University may elect to have their paychecks automatically deposited into a personal checking or statement savings account.
Employees may choose any bank or credit union for Direct Deposit. Some banks offer free checking to depositors who enroll in Direct Deposit; you should check with your bank for details.
Funds from checks directly deposited will be available at 9:00 a.m. on the Thursday preceding the check dates.
Direct Deposit is not available to student workers.
Enrollment
If you want Direct Deposit, you must complete the Direct Deposit Authorization and Input Form, and forward it to the Human Resources Department.
The following sections on the Direct Deposit form must be completed:
(1) Type of Action: Select appropriate action: Add, Change or Delete
(4) Employee Name:
(7) Bank Name:
(8) Account Number: Enter the account number of the checking or statement savings
account into which you want your paycheck deposited. You must verify your account number with your bank. If there are spaces or dashes between digits, the number must be entered in this way if required by your bank.
(9) Account Type: Enter “C” for checking account or “S” for savings account.
(10) Routing Transit Number: This is a federally assigned number given to a bank or
bank branch. Please call your bank to obtain this number.
Advice of Deposit
Instead of a check, employees who select Direct Deposit will receive an Advice of Deposit slip, which indicates the date and amount of deposit. Attached to the Advice of Deposit slip will be the usual pay stub indicating gross and net wages, withholdings, and deductions. This slip will be mailed to your campus address on the usual Friday check dates.
Notification:
Upon receiving your Direct Deposit Authorization and Input Form, the Human Resources Department will process your form and will mail you a letter to your home address notifying you when your first check will be electronically deposited into your account.
Prior to the Direct Deposit start date, employees may see a .01 cent deposit into their account. This is done to ensure the account is set up correctly. The entire paycheck amount will be deposited in the specified account on the paycheck following the .01 cent deposit.
