Multiple Direct Deposits
To set up direct deposits to multiple accounts for the same employee, you can divide it either by a percentage of the check or by a set dollar amount:
Percent Split
If you’re splitting Direct Deposit equally into two accounts:
- Enter 50 in the first account.
- Enter 100 in the second account.
This will put 50% in the first account and the remaining balance (100%) in the second account.
[If you were to put 50 in the second account, it would only deposit 50% of the remaining balance and the employee would receive a paper check for the remaining balance.]
Dollar Amount Split
To Direct Deposit a specific dollar amount to an account:
- Select Flat Split from the dropdown.
- Enter the Amount to be deposited in the first account.
- Enter 100 in the second account in order for 100% of the remaining balance to be deposited in the second account.
- Save.
Ex: $210 (Flat Split) in First Account and 100% (Percent Split) in Second account.
