Direct deposit avoids problems with lost checks and weather preventing check distribution.
Employees as of June 1 will have one year to establish a checking account for direct deposit. Direct deposit will be required of all faculty and staff but will not be required of work-study students since the law prevents requiring them to participate. Dr. Andrew Sorensen, President of the University of Alabama and Dr. Sybil Todd, Vice President for Student Affairs, have approved this plan along with enthusiastic student support. This plan would include expansion of the Student Recreation Center and renovation of the Aquatic Center, a new outdoor pool and new tennis courts. To fund this project, the proposal includes increasing the fees for faculty and students for usage of these facilities.
