Electronic Funds Transfer - HRS2600
Human Resources > Tables > Bank Codes > EFT
The Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) 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 |

| Originating DFI ID Code | Type the eight-digit code used to identify the originating depository financial institution. This is the LEA's bank's routing number without the last digit. |
| Company ID Type 8 | Type the ten-digit code used to identify the employer. This is either the employer identification number with a 0 added on the end of the number or a leading 1, depending on the client's financial institution. |
| Employer Offset Account | Type the offset account number used to debit the employer's bank account. This number is the district's payroll bank account number, and will be included in the EFT file. Leave blank to exclude debits from the EFT file. |
| Immediate Origin | Type the ten-digit code used to identify the EFT sending point. There is a leading space plus the routing number for the district bank. |
