Direct Deposit Authorization & Allocation

How do I set‐up direct deposit for a new bank account?

Within WISE, navigate to Pay Information from the Employee tab, select Direct Deposit Allocation, the Update Direct Deposit Allocation option is located near the bottom center of the form. Once selected, you will be prompted to answer your security question.  When your answer has been confirmed, enter your bank account information under Add Allocation. Carefully review the information you have entered to ensure it is accurate. Save.

Can I have direct deposit to any account?

Yes, direct deposit is available with any U.S. financial institution.  Can I have direct deposit to more than one account? Yes, you may select more than one allocation. The priority of any active allocations determines the order in which they occur.

Why is the priority of each allocation so important?

The priority determines which account will be processed first, second, etc. For example; Priority 1 will be processed first, Priority 2 will be processed second, and so on. Your net pay allocation should be the last account processed (i.e. has the highest priority number) and it should display 100% as the allocation percent. When you have entered multiple accounts for Direct Deposit Allocation your highest numbered allocation (your net pay entry) should have the Remaining Amount box checked.

I am having trouble locating my bank routing and account numbers and I don’t have a check, what should I do?

You will need to have this information available when setting up your Direct Deposit Allocation. If you do not have checks, you may obtain this information by calling your bank.  You may also be able to find it on your banking web site. Caution: Be careful, do not use your bank’s wire transfer routing information. I am trying to make changes to my account, but I can’t see my account.

When I try to enter the information, I receive an error that the account already exists. How can I fix this?

Your account may have been unused for a period of time, making the status ‘Inactive’ or you may have accidentally selected the inactive button. Contact your Campus Payroll Office to verify your account information; Payroll will be able to activate your account. Once it is active, it will be available to view in WISE and you can make any necessary changes.

I have two accounts set up however my entire check is going into only one account. What is wrong?

Check your priority settings; the account receiving 100% of the remaining balance should contain the largest number in the priority sequence.  My direct deposit is set up with two accounts intending to have each account receive 50% of my net pay.

Why am I still receiving a check?

If both direct deposit allocations are set to 50%; the first deposit is 50% of the total net and the next 50% deposit is half of the remaining amount, which will leave a remaining balance causing a check to be issued. Please see the following example:

Description	Priority # and Allocation %	Direct Deposit Amount	Available Balance
Net Pay			$100.00
	Priority 1 at 50%	$50.00	$50.00
	Priority 2 at 50%	$50.00	$50.00

A check will be issued for the remaining $25.00 net amount.  

When you enter multiple accounts for Direct Deposit Allocation your highest numbered allocation should have the Remaining Amount box checked. This will prevent a paper check from being processed.
