I signed up for direct deposit, but instead received an actual paycheck. Why?
A. For all financial institutions other than Adirondack Trust and the Skidmore Employees Federal Credit Union, Payroll is required to process a pre-note for the first time only. The financial institutions require verification that your account number and routing number are correct. For this reason, you will receive an actual paycheck the first pay day after you sign up for direct deposit. If all information is correct, your direct deposit status becomes effective two weeks later. If not, you will be notified by Payroll that there is a problem with the information you submitted, which will need to be resolved before your direct deposit status can become effective.
