Payroll > Tables > Bank Codes > EFT

This tab is used to create the record for direct deposit of employee payroll checks to their financial institutions. This function is accomplished by creating an EFT file during a payroll run. This file is then given to the employer's financial institution to be transmitted to an automatic clearinghouse. The automatic clearinghouse is normally a centralized federal reserve bank that transmits necessary data for direct depositing to the employee's participating depository financial institution (DFI). The difference between EFT direct deposit and the normal direct depositing option is that EFT depositing requires the employer to deliver the file to the financial institution.

A check stub is produced for each employee with the actual check portion of the payroll check voided. Employees participating in EFT will have an asterisk (*) printed next to the check number on the payroll journal and the check register.

The EFT tab is completed only for the LEA's bank and not for each code in the bank table. If any of these fields are left blank, the EFT file is not generated. The information used to complete these fields may be obtained from the LEA's depository financial institution.

Set up EFT codes:

Field Description
Immediate Destination

Type the nine-digit Federal Reserve routing number used to identify the receiving point. This number is provided by the individual bank.

The field length is ten digits, since some banks require a leading space before the nine-digit routing number. If you type the nine-digit routing number and later need to add a space before the number, you must do the following:

Change the field to a random number (e.g., 123456789).

Click Save.

Add a leading space with the appropriate nine-digit routing number following the space (e.g., [space]987654321).

Click Save again.

Only follows these steps when you need to add a space before a number that was previously saved.
