Important Information for Employees with Direct Deposit

For the past year, the MISD has been providing employees that have selected “Direct Deposit” for their paychecks with two versions of the pay stub – an electronic version and a hard copy. Beginning in January 2008, employees that have a computer at their work station will only receive the electronic version of the pay stub if they have selected “Direct Deposit.” Employees that do not have computer access will continue to receive a hard copy of the “Direct Deposit” pay stub. During the summer months, all employees will receive a hard copy of the stub. The electronic pay stub provides instant access to direct deposit information on pay day for employees, and the District enjoys some cost savings by reducing the number of pay stubs that are printed.

Direct Deposit Information

1. Participants in this service will receive a direct deposit statement via email. The pay stub will itemize gross pay, deductions and net pay. The paycheck will have non-negotiable across the front. The money will be electronically sent to the depository (bank, savings, or credit union) for posting on that day. (The same procedure will be followed as though a paycheck had deposited.)
   
2. Financial institutions must be members of the Southwest Clearing House Association in order to accept automatic deposits. If employees have questions, they should contact their depository.
   
3. To enroll in the program, you must be a fulltime employee and a Direct Deposit Agreement must be signed and returned to the MISD Payroll Department along with a voided check for checking accounts and/or a deposit slip for savings accounts.
   
4. New hires may enroll when hired; however, their first paycheck will not be
   direct deposited.
   
5. Bank account closings must be submitted to the payroll department 10 days prior to the payday for which the direct deposit is to be stopped.
   
6. Changes in account numbers will require a pre-notification which will result in a one month delay before placement on the direct deposit system.
   
7. Final paychecks for employees who terminate prior to the end of their contract will be made via a regular paycheck rather than direct deposit.
   
8. Employees are responsible for notifying the payroll department immediately upon a change on an account number or bank.

Availability of Funds Statement

When signing up for automated clearing house (ACH) direct deposits, it is advisable to first check with your bank to determine if you will be able to have provisional credit on your direct deposit the day it is sent and received by your bank.

The law states that a bank must give you credit the same day they receive your ACH direct deposit. However, some banks do not give your account credit for the ACH deposit until posting time. They are still in compliance with the law because it is the same business day. Due to the bank’s late business hours, you cannot have access to those funds until the next business day.

For more information regarding ACH direct deposits, please contact your personal bank.
