When processing a pay run, any employee whose banking information has not been setup in their profile will say "Paper Check" with a printer icon beside their name.

Because most employers and employees prefer direct deposit, you may want to follow these steps to make paying your workers as effortless as possible. Payment can be split across multiple bank accounts, and employees have the option to add their own bank info. You'll have another chance to confirm employee payment methods in the "Review" stage.

 Note: If you do not see the option to enable direct deposit, you may not have been set up to use our direct deposit service. If this is the case, apply for direct deposit now. Direct deposit requires a risk assessment of your company and the primary signer of the agreements before it can be enabled in OnPay.

 

Enter the Routing and Account numbers provided by the employee. You can also invite your employees to enter this info themselves.

Splitting Direct Deposit to Multiple Employee Bank Accounts 

If employees would like their pay deposited to multiple accounts, you can add as many additional accounts as needed. You can also control how the check is split, using percentages, flat amounts, or both.

 

Click Split Check.
