Setting up employee records for direct deposit

An employee can have direct deposit for up to four separate accounts.

The four lines of direct deposit information are read by Sage 100 Contractor according to Rate Type first. It looks first at 1-Dollar Amount, then 2-Percent of Net, and lastly, 3-Remainder of Check. If multiple lines are set to 1-Dollar Amount, Sage 100 Contractor looks at the lines in order from top to bottom.

When you process payroll checks through 5-2-4 Report Printing for employees that are set up for direct deposit, Sage 100 Contractor displays a message that lists these employees with their full name and direct deposit email address. Pay stubs for employees with direct deposit are processed individually, and a password-protected PDF is emailed to each employee. After the emailing is completed, you can also print pay stubs for the employees receiving the email and assign the check numbers.

  • The direct deposit information text boxes may be edited whether or not the Enable Direct Deposit check box is selected. Validation rules do not apply until the check box is selected and the record is saved.
  • Whenever any changes are made to your direct deposit file format by changing any of the formatting options, you should contact your bank and request a retest to be sure your bank is ready for the changes.
  • Employees receiving emailed pay stubs are required to enter the last four digits of their social security number before they can view the pay stub.
