Instructions to set up Direct Bank Deposit for your paycheck

Direct deposit information cannot be entered until an employee has been hired in the Human Resources Management System and all EDocs approved. Your hiring department will tell you when you can officially begin using online direct deposit.

Have a check or savings account information in front of you to begin your set up. While all necessary information is on your current checks, you will have to get the bank's Transit Number for savings accounts in addition to your account number

You must be absolutely sure of your bank numbers and all accounts you wish to add to your Direct Deposit. Validation of the bank will show on screen but not on personal account numbers. Warning: If you accidentally type in the wrong account number, your paycheck could be deposited into someone else's account, or not be deposited at all. Please double-check your data entry before saving your direct deposit request.

Go to the Direct Bank Deposit page at http://www.fms.indiana.edu/payroll/direct_bank_deposit.asp for information and to fill out the Direct Bank Deposit Authorization Form.

To Stop Direct Bank Deposit

You may not stop direct deposit online. A paper form must be submitted to your campus payroll office.

1. Complete a paper Direct Bank Deposit Authorization Form
   (You can fill this out online before printing it)
2. Check the box that says Stop.
3. Mail this completed form to your campus payroll office.

If your paper form to STOP your Direct Bank Deposit is received before the end of the payroll cycle then you should receive a hard copy check for that period.^* If your form is received after the end of the current payroll cycle your pay for the current period will be direct deposited but you will receive a hard copy check for the following pay period.

If you intend to close your account it is very important to STOP your Direct Bank Deposit with the payroll department before you close your bank account. If you fail to do so your check will continue to go Direct Bank Deposit. Once a check has been deposited into a closed account, there will be a delay of several business days before your Direct Bank Deposit is recovered from your old account. At that time you will receive a hard copy check.

*Please Note: The payroll cycle ends when payroll is closed. Check with your department's payroll clerk for specific payroll closing dates.
