Managing My Direct Deposit: FAQs
If you are an employee and have any questions about your paychecks, W-2s, or using the employee portal, please contact your employer. Patriot Support staff cannot answer your questions via chat, email, or phone. We can only speak with authorized company contacts.
Q. How does direct deposit work?
A. If your employer offers direct deposit, your pay can be deposited directly into your bank account from your employer on pay day. You have the option to split your paycheck into several different accounts that you designate. Instead of receiving a paper paycheck, you can view your check stub with all of the payment details. Click the“View Paychecks”link to view your paycheck details.
Q. How do I change my direct deposit account info?
A. From the main page, click “Direct Deposit.” If your employer has already entered your direct deposit information, you will already see your bank account information listed. You can either add additional bank accounts, or edit your existing bank accounts.
Q. If I add or make a change to my direct deposit information, how soon will this go into effect?
A. The change is made immediately, and is normally included in the next payroll that your employer runs. Check with your employer to confirm when your changes will be effective.
Q: I don’t see a place to add direct deposit information at all. Why not?
A: Your employer needs to be fully set up with direct deposit before you will have the ability to add direct deposit information. If you’re not seeing an option to add direct deposit information, this may be the reason. Contact your employer to learn where they are in the direct deposit application process, or if they will be using direct deposit at all.
