Direct Deposit

When can I expect my payroll that is direct deposited to be in my bank account?

  • The money will be in your account on your actual payroll date. If the payroll date is a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, the money will be in your account the next business day. Please remember that Automatic Teller Machines can be updated one - two days after the transaction date.

Biweekly payroll

  • The first payroll after you requested direct deposit the pre-note process takes place. This process submits your account information only to the bank, no money is transferred resulting in an actual CHECK for this period. The second payroll money is transferred to your bank account. You will receive a NON-NEGOTIABLE STUB showing the amount of your direct deposit.

Monthly payroll

  • For employees that are paid on the monthly payroll if you submit your request for or change to direct deposit by the middle of the month your direct deposit will be in effect for your next payroll. During the middle* of the month a special pre-note process is submitted. If you miss the deadline for the special pre-note, your account will be pre-noted on the first of the following month requiring two payroll's before your direct deposit will be in effect. * Please refer to the Payroll Schedule on the EIS/Payroll web page at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~control/payroll/ to get the exact deadline date. Please also monitor the Controller's Office Bulletin, or Employee Information Services Bulletin as these deadlines can be frequently updated.

How many bank accounts can I direct deposit my payroll to?

  • You can deposit your pay into two bank accounts. These accounts can be with the same or different banks.
