Direct Deposit — H0BUI

Note: If the employee is being rehired, this screen may already exist. Generally, when a direct deposit is entered (new or changed), TINS is required to run a test deposit before it transmits into that account from a final payroll run. This requires a three-day waiting period (known as prenote) from the date you enter the setup/change until it becomes effective. The effective date of deposit, as found on TINS, refers to the payroll processing date, not the payment date.

Key Fields:

AGENCY NUMBER, EMPLOYEE SSN

  1. Enter I or R in the SUBCOMMAND field for either Checking or Savings.
  2. Enter the following fields:

    FREQUENCY
    00 Turn off Direct Deposit
    09 Every payment goes Direct Deposit

    PERCENT
    Enter 100 percent as 0100.000.

    Note: The PERCENT field must be 100 percent (entered as 0100.000) for either the checking or savings deduction when only one deduction is entered. If both savings and checking deductions exist, then you must enter an amount in the AMOUNT field for savings and 100 percent (entered as 0100.000) in the PERCENT field for checking.


    BANK TRANS NUMBER
    Enter bank’s nine-digit transit/routing number. (Do not enter dashes.)

    BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER
    Enter the employee’s bank account number.

    Note: Remove any extra zeros remaining at the end of the BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER field.

  3. Press the Enter key.
  4. Press the Enter key again to process the transaction completely.
