Rationale for Mandatory Direct Deposit
• There are no checks are lost or stolen internally
• Payments reach employee's accounts the day the check is issued...
even if employee is on vacation, out of town, sick, or unable to get
to their financial institution
• Many financial institutions offer free or lower cost checking for
customers with direct deposit because it saves time and the cost of
processing paper checks
• Direct deposit can help avoid bouncing checks because the deposit
is direct and on time
• Most employers (including Kerr County) will deposit employees
checks a day early if the regular payday falls on a holiday
• Reduces County Cost for supplies required for paper checks, i.e.
paper, ink, TIME
