Managing Employee Bank Accounts


In this topic

Introduction

This topic describes how an employee authority can view or edit an employee’s bank account.

Bank Accounts Overview

Ready pay (powered by ePayroll) allows you to split an employee’s pay into as many bank accounts as you wish.

Unless you pay your employees using Cash/Cheque, you will need to ensure that at all times each employee has one Primary Bank account defined.

You can add additional bank accounts, if required, and you can specify the dollar amount that the employee wants paid into each additional bank account in each pay.
