Cerritos College Employee’s Direct Deposit
Information and Instructions
1. Direct deposit is a voluntary program which will transfer your net pay directly to your checking
or savings account. Instead of a pay warrant, you will receive an advice of the amount
deposited attached to your pay stub. The entire net check amount must be deposited, and
the deposit can only be direct to one checking or savings account per employee.
2. Things to consider:
Your bank, S&L, or credit union must be a member of a National Automated
Clearinghouse Association, which most institutions are.
A garnishment order will temporarily suspend direct deposit status.
If you have more than one assignment with the District on regular payroll cycles, all
pay will go direct deposit.
Retroactive checks and adjustments checks which are paid on a supplemental
schedule, will not be direct deposited. When regular pay is reissued on a supplemental
schedule, you will receive an actual payroll warrant.
3. How to sign up:
Complete Employee’s Direct Deposit Authorization form. Attach a voided check for
verifying routing numbers and/or account numbers.
Return the completed form to the Payroll Office
Payroll will enter the information in the county’s payroll system for a test run. An
advice (direct deposit) will issue for $0.00 which will be forwarded to the employee.
Employee should verify the account number for accuracy. If there is a discrepancy,
please contact the Payroll Office immediately.
The first check to be direct deposited will be on or after the start-up date indicated on
the pre-notification.
4. Submit a new authorization form to Payroll when:
you change the name on the account
you close the account or move the account from one branch to another
you are absent for more than a semester or year
5. Additional provisions (Please read carefully):
Employees will be responsible for any fees, charges or costs assessed by Los Angeles
County Office of Education and/or my bank institution due to my failure to cancel or
modify my Direct Deposit Authorization. Such fees, charges or costs will be deducted
from my payroll warrant.
