Employees will no longer have to use cumbersome paper forms to change direct deposit elections.

An online application is up and running at UC Riverside, UC San Diego and Hastings. Most other locations will follow suit this fall.

Employees may use the online application to either enroll in or cancel direct deposit services. They may also use the online form to change the account where paychecks are automatically deposited.

The direct deposit application may be used by most employees, including student workers. The application is not available to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory employees, post-doctoral scholars or retirees.

The service will roll out in September at UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz and later this fall at UCLA, UC Merced, Office of the President, UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, UC Davis and UC Irvine.

Employees will find the direct deposit application under "Income & Taxes" after signing into their personal accounts from the At Your Service website. The application displays a generic sample check, with instructions on where to find routing numbers and other account information required for completing the form.

The processing time for direct deposit varies by UC location; in some instances, it can take one or more pay cycles before changes take effect.
