Benefits of Direct Deposit(s) for Employees

Paycheck via Direct Deposit

Giving employees the option to have their payroll funds deposited via direct deposit into their banking account(s) is both a convenience and a benefit for them and an employer.

Employees do not have to take the time to make the trip to their bank or worry about losing their paycheck.

For the company, the direct deposit liability is debited from the company’s account in one “lump sum” so the company saves the hassle of reconciling and tracking live checks written on their account. Multiple accounts can be configured, including savings and investment accounts too.

Direct Deposit Benefits

If you are an employer, to ensure a smooth transition and avoid potential issues when starting or changing an employee’s direct deposit, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
 

  • ABA outing Numbers are nine (9) digits in length
  • Routing Numbers starting with the number five (5) are NOT valid and will generate a banking return
  • Do NOT obtain the routing number from a deposit slip—please use a voided check or a bank supplied specification sheet
  • Always obtain and file any documentation of the employee’s account information or direct deposit request
  • The first two digits of the ABA Routing Number must be in the ranges of 00 through 12, 21 through 32, 61 through 72, or 80. Detail on each category are as follows:
    • 01 through 12 are “normal” routing numbers
    • 00 is used by the United States Government
    • 21 through 32 were assigned only to credit unions and savings banks through the year 1985 and are currently still in use by long-established institutions
    • 61 through 72 are used for electronic transactions
    • 80 is used for traveler’s cheques

What our clients say about us

Gordon and his team run this first class operation. Why go with the big box ADP when you can have professional, personalized services at a lower cost? It’s a no brainer.

They take care of my payroll needs for multiple locations so I can focus on growing my business. Gordon promptly responds to all my questions and concerns. He also helps me take care of additional issues like workers’ comp audits and taxes.

I wish I would have known about them years ago. You call you get to talk to Gordon, you email your data into him and it gets done… like a smooth-running machine. I strongly suggest you call Gordon and start having him handle your payroll needs today.

We as business owners have enough to do without having to deal with Federal and State agencies. Put your efforts into your business that you know best, that is what makes you money.

Sharon D. via Google

We’ve been with this company for almost a year and could not be more pleased. Gordon keeps us in compliance with all of the complex employment and tax rules. He is extremely patient, committed and giving of his time and knowledge without reservation. If we need help understanding something he is always there for us.

If you’re thinking about getting someone to take over your payroll, give Gordon a call. He is more than affordable and worth every penny.

Kathleen M. via Yelp

I had stayed with a large payroll company because I thought it was difficult to change. Once my friend recommended Gordon, it was so fast and easy to switch! And my fees were cut in HALF!

And I pay nothing when they file quarterlies. And he’s a million times more responsive.
