ESS direct deposit with prenoting approved

We use ESS for direct deposit, and it defaults all the entries to pre note. We do not want to pre note and have our bank account set to N on PR01. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the direct deposits entered in ESS to pre note approved? Thanks.

Check out PR01.1. I believe you can set it there to N.

PR01 is set to N

What form is this? We don't have a prenote field in the bank tab of HR00.1

do you only have one bank code on PR01.1?

unknown

We have 3 entries on PR01.1 but only one is active.

When you set the employee up what value do you use in PR12.1? You can set it to Not Prenoted, Accepted or Prenotified.

There is no prenote flag on the HR00 it is only on the PR01. On your active bank set the prenote flag to N. When your employees setup direct deposit through ESS it will show N in the prenote field. Also when you set it up directly on the PR12 just let it default to N. When the PR140 is run it will then update that field to A.

When the employee enters their direct deposit via ESS, it creates the PR12.1, and it gets set to N (not prenoted) even though we have PR01 set to N for our bank. Payroll staff manually changes the new PR12s to A before they run payroll. We do not set the employee up, they do it themselves in ESS.

As long as the Prenote flag on the PR01 is set to N, it doesn't matter that default flag on the PR12 is N. It will no longer look at that flag because at the system level the prenote flag set to N. Our staff does not update the flag on the PR12 to A before the PR140 because the PR140 will update the flag automatically. Our setup has been like this for almost five years and we have never had a problem.

Thanks, Kerri. We tried this in test and it worked. We think that years ago it didn't work so payroll has continued to update PR12 with A's before they run payroll. They are going to stop doing that, and from our testing it looks like it will work.

For those who do not prenote direct deposits, what benefits lead you to turn off prenoting? Wouldn't you want to prenote to know if the account is valid before running through payroll?

Hi Deanna, we currently do not prenote as we are expecting the employee to know their own routing and account number. Unfortunately we had 85 errors this payroll. I need to review with senior management about turning on the prenote process. Jim

We have found that with the biweekly payroll we do not get the notification soon enough for the issues. By the time we would get any issues back the next payroll had came through. When there is actual dollars attached the banks move quicker.

We don't pre-note because it allows our employees to have access to their deposit immediately. We have employees in multiple cities and states. Having the first check direct deposited is a big employee satisfier, especially for those people off-site. Our NOC/return rates are pretty minimal for new deposits. We have more issues with employees closing their accounts without notifying us.
