Direct Deposits
Policies & Procedures
All employees should enroll for direct deposit via the on-line direct deposit feature now available at
the U@Penn portal
http://medley.isc-seo.upenn.edu/penn_portal/u@penn.php. Direct Deposit is more convenient
to the employee (there is no need to be at work on payday to receive pay; it eliminates multiple trips to
the department Business Office because the person distributing checks is unavailable; it eliminates the
possibility of having the check lost, stolen or damaged; it will also eliminate additional fees charged due
to lost or stale dated checks). Direct Deposit also allows the Business Office staff time to perform other
responsibilities that advance the mission of your area.
Allow for 2-3 weeks for new accounts or new banks to take effect.
Employees should always stop Direct Deposit BEFORE closing an account at the bank!
Employees will be charged a fee of $25 for any funds returned to the University due to invalid or closed accounts.
| *NOTE:
Several of our employees now bank with Internet banks. It is imperative that all employees provide
proof (from the bank) of correct routing numbers and account numbers for the account to which
they want their paycheck deposited. The proof should be a voided blank check for deposit into a
checking account from the bank to which the funds will be transferred, or a pre-printed savings
account deposit slip from the correct bank, if the money is to be deposited into a savings account.
|
In these times when banks are selling branches on a regular basis, it is absolutely imperative that every
employee who participates in the direct deposit program open and examine their advices every pay period.
Please check to ensure the correct amount of money went to the correct account in the correct bank.
Please notify all employees in your ORG that they should check this every time they receive an advice.
