Who is eligible for Direct Deposit?

Any employee paid on a biweekly basis may elect to have their payments directly deposited by completing a Direct Deposit Authorization Form.  The form may be obtained at the Payroll website (http://payroll.rutgers.edu/forms/). 

Can I fax the Direct Deposit Verification Form to Payroll?

No.  Payroll Services requires the signed, original form.  Don’t forget to include a copy of a voided check if selecting a Checking account.

How long does this process take?

You will have one week when you receive both a check and an advice notice.  Review the transit routing number and account number.  If these numbers are correct, you should be deposited the next time you are paid.  Call Payroll AT 732-445-3057 immediately if the advice information is not correct.

Can I select any bank and how many accounts may I select?

Your banking institution must be a member of the Automatic Clearing House.  You may elect one or two accounts within one banking institution.

How do I make a change to direct deposit?

Complete a new Direct Deposit Verification Form to change either your transit routing   or account numbers.  The next time you are paid, you will receive a check and an advice notice.  If the numbers on the advice notice are correct, you should be deposited the next time you are paid.

How long does it take to cancel direct deposit?

To cancel, you must complete another Direct Deposit Authorization Form.  Allow ten days to cancel.

Because my checkbook was stolen I just closed the account at my bank.  Payday is in a few days.  What will happen to my money?

Contact Payroll Services at 732-445-3057 immediately.  If possible, we will cancel your direct deposit.  If there is not enough time to stop the deposit, we will suggest you contact your bank manager.  She may be able to “hand post” your deposit. 

Sometimes I don’t work for several months at a time.  What will happen to my direct deposit information?

If you have not been paid for six months, your direct deposit information will be cleared.  When you get paid, you will receive a check.  You may complete another Direct Deposit Verification Form when you start working again.
