The direct deposit authorization form is available online through the State Controller's Office (SCO) website. You can either submit the signed original form to Human Resources or email it to payroll. If you email it, make sure only the last four of your SSN is showing. All completed Direct Deposit forms are mailed to the SCO for processing.

If you are unable to access the direct deposit authorization form online, the form is also available with Human Resources in Sierra Hall Room 101

When a warrant is issued, federal and state income taxes are withheld and forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, Medicare and Social Security on the employee's behalf. Miscellaneous deductions, such as garnishments and deferred compensation (TSAs/403Bs, etc.), may also be withheld and forwarded on the employee's behalf.

So, if an employee is paid in error and the State Controller's Office is unable to recoup the deductions forwarded on their behalf then, the employee will owe the net amount plus any deductions taken from that warrant.

Complete a stop payment request form at the Payroll Department. Payroll will forward the request to the State Controller's Office for processing. If the warrant has not been cashed, a replacement warrant will be issued. The request may take up to 4 weeks to process.

These types of pay are processed on an ongoing basis. As Payroll receives the timely and accurate electronic transactions (in PeopleSoft) and supporting documents, they are processed.

Yes, immediately notify the Payroll Office so that your Direct Deposit can be canceled and to ensure that a paper paycheck is issued to you in a timely manner.

If you recently submitted the direct deposit form with your new account information, it will take 30 to 45 days before it begins depositing in your new account.
