Electronic payment helps ensure accuracy. Before an employer begins to submit electronic payments, the MiSDU verifies employer and employee data to guarantee that payments are properly identified. Thereafter, employee information is merely confirmed, not re-entered, which eliminates costly mistakes. With their economy and convenience, electronic payments also save valuable staff time. Mike Ross of Waupaca Foundry says electronic payment through the MiSDU saves his payroll clerk two hours each pay period.
Employers are impressed with MiSDU customer service.
They bent over backward to get us on electronic payment and continue to do so. It's like having another person on our staff. The MiSDU gives employers choices-if they want, they can submit paper checks, as many of them have done in the past. But we think that electronic payment will save them time and aggravation. Employers need to understand that the MiSDU's role is important but limited.
