HOW TO ENROLL FOR PAYROLL DIRECT DEPOSIT
Direct deposit is available as self serve through Workday. Directions for changing Direct Deposit information can be found through this link: Directions for Changing Direct Deposit in Workday
*If your deposit account information changes for any reason, you must update your payment election in Workday immediately (retirees are not able to update payment elections, please see below regarding retires process for updating payment elections).
*If your account is closed or frozen, the account or routing number is changed, or your account is otherwise unable to receive deposits and you have not updated your payment election in Workday one week before the established pay date, the update may not change the payment information before the payment is sent.
*If the payment is sent to the wrong account because you did not complete the change one week before the established pay date WSU is not responsible for the payment until it is returned by the financial institution.
*If a payment is rejected or returned by your institution, WSU cannot release payment to you until the funds have been returned to the WSU—usually 3-5 banking days after payday.
Retirees are not able to make these changes through Workday. Please use this form and submit back to Payroll Services for processing.
