Direct Deposit Prenoting
In an effort to streamline
the direct deposit process, a policy decision has been made to discontinue the
process of prenoting direct deposits. This change allows employees to receive the
benefit of direct deposit immediately rather than receiving a check while
waiting for the prenote process to complete. This change in policy will be effective with
all direct deposit information entered in
HRIS with an effective date on or after September 14, 2003.
