PAYROLL NEWS - DIRECT DEPOSITS AND PAYROLL BANK/CREDIT UNION DEDUCTIONS

 Direct Deposits

If you have a banking change that affects your payroll or expense reimbursements through Accounts Payable (A/P), please be sure to update your information with Payroll as soon as possible. When funds are rejected from the bank, we will not be able to process a replacement check until the funds have been received back in our bank account. This could delay your payment by days, or weeks.


To update your Direct Deposit information, we will need the following from you:

  • Signed Direct Deposit form (attached).

  • A voided check (not deposit slip) or a printout from your bank with your Name, Bank Name, Routing number, Account number, and noting if it is a checking or savings account.

  • The form must be received in Payroll by the 13th of the month to be effective that month.

  • If the account has been closed, and you turn in the Direct Deposit form after the 13th of the month, you will receive a paper check that month.

  • Please do not email this information to Payroll. You can either drop it off at the District Office, or send it through the District Courier.

  • If this information is not handed directly to Payroll, you will receive a phone call to verify that this change is legitimate, and not a scam.

  • You will receive an email letting you know there has been a change to your direct deposit once it is entered into the Payroll system.


Payroll Bank/Credit Union Deductions


We have updated some of our processes as far as Payroll Bank/Credit Union Deductions are concerned.


We can now process a monthly deduction from your paycheck to any bank account:

  • We can do up to 2 banking deductions per employee.

  • This can not be a percentage, but must be a specific dollar amount.

  • It can be started or stopped any month, as long as we receive the form by the 13th of the month.


What we will need from you to setup these deductions:

  • The signed Payroll Banking Deduction Form (attached).

  • You must specify an amount to be deducted each month, not a percentage.

  • Is this a new/starting deduction, changed, or are you canceling a deduction?

  • A voided check (not deposit slip) or a printout from your bank with your Name, Bank Name, Routing number, Account number, and noting if it is a checking or savings account.

  • Must be received in Payroll by the 13th of the month to be effective that month.

  • Please do not email this information to Payroll. You can either drop it off at the District Office, or send it through the District Courier.

  • If this information is not handed directly to Payroll, you will receive a phone call to verify that this change is legitimate, and not a scam.

  • You will receive an email letting you know there has been a change to your direct deposit information once it is entered into the payroll system.


Donation-Payroll Deductions


Also as a reminder, we are able to send a monthly, or one time donation to the Washougal Schools Foundation or the Camas/Washougal Community Chest:
