Direct Deposit (only some employees)

[jmccse]

How hard is it to do this every pay, where we have some employees who don't want direct deposit? We are in the process of just getting this set up and I am wondering how it works when I do direct deposit for the ones who want it and then have to print out checks for those who don't. I see where we have to enter information for DD in employees file but my main concern is when it comes to printing the checks out. Will it show employees who are not doing DD or will I have to go through and select each person individually to print out the check. Just want to make sure it is not going to be more work for payroll than it will be worth it. We have 35 employees. Thank You.

You only setup those that want Direct Deposit as "Direct Deposit payees" in the employee settings. The others you leave alone and you pay them all on pay day and then print the Checks which will be printed for those employees and then export the ACH file to give to the bank for the direct deposit employees and print their "stubs". Both types also have a "register" to print too.

I just worked with the bank to send the ACH file to them and we got an error......The field named "File Creation Date"(813100) contains an invalid value. He told me it should be in yy/mm/dd but also that creation date does not make sense because I just created it yesterday.

I'm guessing your bank is using a format other than you have selected and the date is shifted over a character. See this page and scroll down to the Export Settings screenshot:

That big button that says "Use ACH-2012 and Older ACH Format", click it and select the other option.

I followed the all the settings on each screen and still got the same error. Question, I see on there that Z Pay is listed under the company (as on ACH record). We have the company name in there. See below: hope this works

You will need to call us tomorrow between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM as I have a feeling you did not understand what I asked you to do. And if you see ZPAY in your file, you really did something wrong.

Also I could not view that image you attached as it was very low resolution and unreadable.

I did submitted my first DD file to my bank today. There was a problem with the julian date for settlement. Specifically line 2 postion 76, there was a zero and it is supposed to be ablank space. I tried both forms of the files (new and old) and both put a zero in that position. The link you supply in the manual to BoA say that 76-78 are supposed to be blank. Not sure where to look from here.

Thanks for the specific problem, I have the developers looking into it.

Download and install the new update as it fixed that zero / blank problem.
