Changes in paycheck distribution planned Effective July 1, local banks will require thumb-print identification for those without checking accounts who cash checks. This time-consuming process makes it infeasible for banks to accommodate the large number of Emory employees cashing payroll checks at neighborhood branches. In light of this, Emory will no longer distribute payroll checks on campus, effective July 1. Employees must choose from three payment options: Direct deposit. If you already use direct deposit, no action is required. If you have a checking account but are not currently using direct deposit, you should submit the necessary forms to enroll. If you do not have or cannot establish a checking account, the Payroll Office has scheduled several banking fairs to assist in establishing a banking relationship. Thursday, June 10 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Crawford Long School of Nursing Auditorium Friday, June 11 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. School of Public Health P Level Wednesday, June 16 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Emory Hospital Auditorium Lobby Debit card. If you cannot establish a checking account, Emory will assist you in establishing a debit or ATM arrangement with a bank. Your paycheck will be credited to this account, enabling you to withdraw your salary amount by use of the card at the bank's ATM. First class mail. Employees not electing direct deposit or a debit card will have their paychecks mailed to their home addresses.
