Effective April 1, 2008, all non-student employees will be required to be paid via direct deposit for both payroll and accounts payable reimbursements. If you are not currently enrolled in direct deposit for your payroll check, please sign up before April 1 utilizing HRforYou or submitting a Direct Deposit Authorization form to Human Resources, McLellan Building. No action is necessary to activate your accounts payable direct deposit as we will automatically transfer your payroll direct deposit information into our accounts payable system.
Casual employees working less than 6 weeks per year are not subject to this new requirement.
By virtue of moving all employees to direct deposit, the College will save on time and resources related to the reprocessing of lost checks while substantially reducing our exposure to check fraud. In addition, direct deposit has many benefits for Bowdoin employees.
For your convenience, below please find a list of local banking establishments. My office has personally contacted each of the branch managers to alert them of the College’s impending move toward mandatory direct deposit. Be sure to identify yourself as a Bowdoin employee when opening a new account or inquiring about direct deposit so that they may better assist you.
