Direct Deposit of Pay

All employees hired after June 30, 1997 (which includes new pension recipients after June 30, 1997) are required to be on direct deposit in accordance with University policy. The University has a successful direct deposit program which has been available now for several years. Direct deposit is the quickest, most reliable, and safest method of payment. Over 99% of all University employees now receive their pay via direct deposit! The benefits of direct deposit include:

  • Convenience No special trip to the bank to deposit your check.
  • Reliability Automatically deposited to your bank's checking account at any US financial institution.
  • Security No reason to worry about lost, stolen or misplaced checks.
  • Flexibility If you change banks or bank accounts, simply notify the Payroll Office of the new bank and account number, using one of the Direct Deposit Authorization forms noted below.
  • Lower fees Most banks offer free or reduced fees for services when you have your pay direct deposited with them.

Those who wish to take advantage of the security and reliability that the direct deposit program offers can contact the Payroll Office at (574) 631-7575 for a direct deposit form or download it from the Web at http://www.nd.edu/~hr/forms/auto_dep_form2.pdf. A voided check must be attached to the form to verify routing and account numbers.
