Payslips and Payment Elections (Direct Deposit)

This section provides information on how to manage your payslips and set up your direct deposit information in Workday. 

Understanding Workday Terminology 

  • Payment elections: This is the Workday term for the information you provide to have your paycheck or expense payments electronically deposited into your bank account. You can set this up yourself through employee self-service or receive help by your local HR department. 

  • Expense payments: This refers to a reimbursement to an employee who has spent out-of pocket on behalf of the organization.

Set Up Payment Elections (Direct Deposit)

Important: If a new employee does not add a payment election within their first 10 days of employment, they may be automatically enrolled in a U.S. Bank Focus Pay Card. More information about the U.S Bank Focus Pay Card will be provided soon.
