Payment Services/Texas Identification Number System (TINS)

Effective March 20, Nacha (formerly the National Automated Clearing House Association), which governs the rules and guidelines of the automated clearing house (ACH) network, implemented a rule change for direct deposit employee payroll payments. The 10-character COMPANY ENTRY DESCRIPTION field requires PAYROLL as the first seven characters of this field. Employees may see this change on their financial institution statements.

See ACR 60634 – Change to Direct Deposit ACH Payroll Files for details.

Contact Payment Services for more information.

In response to a directive from the Office of the Governor, the optional holiday for Cesar Chavez Day on March 31 has been removed from state holiday calendars and the CAPPS system. All agencies should review pending timesheet entries. Hub agencies should delete this option from their CAPPS instances as soon as possible.

Agencies should share this information with their timekeeping, payroll and human resources staff.

Agency level 1 and 2 support staff may contact the CAPPS Service Desk with questions or concerns.
