Direct Deposit Policy

In November 2011, the Board of Regents issued a policy with respect to direct deposit and directed all system institutions to implement the new requirements. Effective April 1, 2012, and in accordance with Board of Regents Policy 7.5.1.1 Required Electronic Transfer of Funds ( http://www.usg.edu/policymanual/section7/policy/C460/#p7.5.1_banking), direct deposit is the required method of payroll payments to UGA employees. All newly hired or rehired employees on or after April 1, 2012, are required to enroll in direct deposit within thirty (30) days of hire or rehire and remain enrolled in direct deposit for the remainder of their employment.
