The Office of Payroll Support/Employment Verification encourages all employees to have direct deposit. Payroll direct deposit is the process by which your paycheck is electronically deposited to your checking or savings account.
Benefits of Direct Deposit
- Peace of mind: No worries about mail delays and lost or stolen checks.
- Convenience: No special trips to pick up and deposit checks.
- Freedom: Payments are automatically deposited to your account, even if you are out of town or ill.
- Savings: No check-cashing fees.
Direct Deposit Form
The Direct Deposit form is to be used for enrollment, changes, and cancellations.
Effective immediately, our office will no longer accept direct deposit forms submitted via email.
Employees who wish to establish or make changes to their existing direct deposit information must appear in person at the Human Resources Office and present a valid photo ID at the time of submission.
This change is being implemented as a security measure to help prevent fraudulent activity and to ensure that any modifications to payroll banking information are made only by the employee.

Closing or Changing Your Bank Account Information
You must change or cancel your direct deposit at least seven business days prior to a payday to avoid having your funds deposited into a closed/invalid account. If the stop/change was not made in time, a paper check will be generated only after the funds are redirected back to us by the Office of the State Comptroller (there are no exceptions). You will be contacted when the check is available for pick-up.
