George A. Smathers Libraries: Payroll Direct Deposit Policy
I. Policy:
As per UF regulation University rule 6C1-3.0422, all Library employees are required to participate in the University’s Direct Deposit Program as a condition of employment.
I.a. This policy is applicable to all TEAMS, USPS, Faculty, Student Assistant and OPS positions.
Federal Work Study employees are exempted from this requirement, but strongly encouraged to participate in the Direct Deposit Program.
I.b. Earnings must be deposited into an active checking or savings account, and information regarding these accounts must be kept current by the employee.
I.c. A Direct Deposit Authorization Form must be submitted to Library Human Resources Office prior to the employee beginning employment. This form requires new employees submit a voided check, which includes their name as the account holder.
I.d. Employees who are unable to establish an account at a financial institution must request to have their salary applied to a pay/debit card through Wachovia, called "My Direct Pay Card". The employee will need to go to any Wachovia location with the following 3 documents:
- Social Security Card,
- Driver's License or state issued picture identification card, and
- Direct Deposit Authorization Form.
After the pay/debit card has been established, the employee must complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Form. The bank can provide the correct banking information required on the form. The form must be submitted to Library HR prior to the employee beginning employment.
Once the form is received and entered by the payroll department the payroll payment will be deposited electronically to the pay/debit card each payday. http://fa.ufl.edu/payroll/
