Enter Direct Deposit for Employees in Canada

Role feature access: Application Container > People > Payroll > Direct Deposit > Direct Deposit

You can add or update an employee's bank account information used for payroll direct deposits. See Payroll Direct Deposit Information.

To enter direct deposit information for employees in Canadian organizations:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Payroll > Direct Deposit.
2. Click Add. 
3. In the Banking Details section, enter the institution number, branch number (sometimes referred to as the transit number), and account number in the corresponding fields.
4. If your employee has only one direct deposit account, in the General Details section, select the Remainder checkbox.
5. If your employee has more than one direct deposit account, you must define how the pay is distributed between accounts.
   1. Designate one account to accept any residual pay amounts that remain after distribution. Select the Remainder checkbox and leave the Deposit Amount field blank.
   2. For each of the other accounts, in the Deposit Type drop-down list, select whether Dayforce should use amount or percentage to calculate the deposit. In the Deposit Amount field, enter the amount or percentage of the pay to deposit into that account.
   3. Click Move Down to move the designated “remainder” account to the bottom of the table.
   4. For the other accounts, click Move Up to assign the processing order during distribution. For example, if you move an account to the top of the table, the paycheck amount is distributed into this account first before the other accounts.
5. Click Save.
