Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 1 - OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION › Division 10 - Commissioner of Administration › Chapter 8 - Direct Deposit of Payroll Requirements › Section 1 CSR 10-8.010 - Direct Deposit of Payroll Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
RULE PURPOSE: This amendment updates the rule to
				  reflect that the Office of Administration will no longer provide banking
				  options for state employees through state contracts and employees will no
				  longer be limited to pay card options selected by the Office of Administration.
				  The amendment also removes references to an outdated form.
(1) All employees who are expected to be
				employed for longer than three (3) months shall participate in the state
				Payroll Direct Deposit program as a condition of employment except as otherwise
				authorized herein. Employees are allowed to select the financial institution
				that will receive the direct deposit. Departments may temporarily or
				permanently waive application of this section for individuals or classes of
				individuals with approval from the commissioner of administration or his or her
				designee.
(2) Employees will
				complete a Payroll and Employee Reimbursement Direct Deposit application form
				to participate. The completed application authorizes the Office of
				Administration to deposit (credit) the employee's net pay into a designated
				checking or savings account. It also authorizes an employee's account to be
				debited only when an error has occurred in a payment to the employee. The
				Payroll and Employee Reimbursement Direct Deposit form (11-22) is incorporated
				by reference and maintained by the Missouri Office of Administration, PO Box
				809, Jefferson City, MO 65102. This form does not include any amendments or
				additions and is available at the Office of Administration or online at
https://oa.mo.gov/accounting/state-employees/direct-deposit
or by mailing a written request to the Missouri Office of Administration, PO
				Box 809, Jefferson City, MO 65102.
(3) State agency payroll offices shall
				forward the completed application to the Office of Administration's Division of
				Accounting. Payroll Direct Deposit of the employee's net pay will begin the pay
				cycle following the acceptance of a properly completed application and the
				successful processing of a test transaction through the banking
				system.
(4) If an employee does not
				have a checking or savings account, the employee may complete the required
				application using a pay card account selected by the employee, provided that
				the pay card vendor must accept both debits and credits as determined by the
				Office of Administration. The employee is responsible for establishing his or
				her own pay card account. Agencies will follow the policies established by the
				commissioner of administration.
(5)
				The state will conduct Payroll Direct Deposit through the automated clearing
				house system, utilizing an originating depository financial institution. The
				rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association and its member local
				Automated Clearing House Associations apply, as limited or modified by
				law.
(6) State employee pay cards
				are "accounts in financial institutions" as that phrase is used in section
				33.155, RSMo.
