EXAMPLES of how to designate how an employees paycheck will be distributed between bank accounts.
- Example 1 - the employee has one bank account and all paychecks will go into this bank account. Check off both the Payroll and 2nd Check check boxes.
- Example 2 - the employee has two bank accounts and they want a certain percentage to go into each account. When using percentages, they MUST add up to 100%. If they don't, you will receive an error. In this example, the employee has 10% of all paychecks go into their Savings account, and the rest will go into the Checking account.
- Example 3 - in this example, the employee wants 100% of their base paycheck to go into their Checking account. They want 100% of any earnings paid on a 2nd check to go into their Savings account.
- Example 4 - in this example, the employee wants $250.00 of all their earnings to go into their Checking Account and 100% of what's left to go into their Checking account.
