State Employees and
Agencies Questions
- When can I sign up for Direct Deposit of my wages? And, how do I sign up?
The
personnel policies of your state agency dictate when an employee may be
eligible to sign up for direct deposit. Your agency’s Personnel Department
has all of the forms necessary to sign up for Direct Deposit (be sure to
attach a voided check to the form that is sent to the State Treasurer’s
Office). You need to check with your personnel folks to set up your Direct
Deposit.
- After I sign up for Direct Deposit, how long does it take before my paycheck
get deposited to my bank account?
It
takes two pay periods for the State Treasurer’s Office to prenote your banking
information. Prenote or Prenotification is a process that is used to ensure that
we have the correct financial institution information for your wages. A message
on your paycheck stub will keep you informed while you are in prenote status.
- How many bank accounts can I have my wages going to on Direct Deposit?
Two.
You could have a fixed amount going to one bank account and the remainder going
to another bank account.
- Can I use the revenue transaction codes (200, 201, 215) on the same Green
Treasurer’s Deposit with reimbursement transaction codes (230, 231,240,
245)?
No.
Reimbursement transaction codes require vendor name, number, and an indicator
whereas revenue transaction codes do not.
- When do I use traveler name, social security number, and indicator on a
Green Deposit?
Transaction
codes 240 and 245 require this information. Also, when you are making a
reimbursement deposit using any 0500 series expenditure object code.
- When is a project and phase code required on a Green Treasurer’s Deposit?
Whenever
you use a federal (5000 series) subfund or any capital project fund (fund group
code 03).
