- Checking the option "Include this account when generating the direct deposit file" ensures the deposit will be included; un-checking this option will temporarily disable the function.
- SPECIAL NOTE: For multiple accounts it is important to know that one account must show BALANCE as the amount if the employee wants the remainder of their payroll wages to go to a particular account and this entry must appear in the bottom of the Employee Direct Deposit screen. If no account is setup to receive the BALANCE and there is money left over after all accounts have been filled, then the remaining net pay will be available for printing as a check. No funds will be deposited in any account that is listed below another account setup to receive BALANCE. Use the arrows to the right of the window to reposition the order in which accounts appear in.
- Click OK to save the account information

NOTE: It is strongly suggested to send a pre-note on the company as well as the employee accounts. Even though NACHA no longer requires Pre-Notes, processing a Pre-Note will help prevent costly Exception Charges.
