Can I have a payroll direct deposit go to 2 accounts for one employee?
The direct deposit feature does not include the ability to set up multiple bank accounts for an employee. However, there is a workaround that can be used. Set up the employee with one bank account and then follow these steps:
1. After the payroll has been processed, go to EasyACCT Utilities, Funds Transfer and select Process Transactions.
2. Enter the Effective Date, check the box to Import transactions and select the file to import.
3. Click Continue.
4. On the Payroll Direct Deposit Entry screen, add a new line for the employee (you can insert using Alt+I).
5. Manually enter the employee ID, (the name will automatically pull in), routing number, checking/savings and bank account number.
6. Enter the amount to be deposited into the second account.
7. Reduce the amount deposited in the first account, so the total pay is correct.
8. Print a Transaction Listing as a record of the transaction.
9. Create the ACH File.
These steps would have to be followed for each payroll.
