Change pay to direct deposit or paper check

You can pay your employee by either direct deposit or paper check.

To change how to pay an employee:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.

2. Click the employee's name, and then click Edit employee.
3. Click the pencil icon next to the current pay method under How do you want to pay this employee.
4. Select the desired pay method from the drop-down in the Direct deposit or paper check page.
   • For direct deposit, enter your employee's banking info. You can ask for a voided check for the details you need.
   • Make sure you also set up your company's bank account for direct deposit.
   • For paper checks, there are no extra steps unless you've turned off direct deposit temporarily. If you do turn off direct deposit, remember to turn it back on.

Direct deposit takes a few days and some extra steps to verify the bank accounts. Depending on how soon you run your next payroll, you might need to write paper checks until direct deposit is ready.
