- Send Prenotes: (not required) A prenote is a zero dollar transaction for an employee that just verifies that the routing and account numbers are valid. By checking this box you will force employees with new direct deposit bank information to have a prenote transaction run on their account before regular deposits are made. A standard check will be printed for this employee during any week that a prenote is sent out. Once a prenote has cleared, you must mark on the employee's bank information page that the prenote was OK for this routing and account number. After this the employee's pay will be direct deposited into his or her account. If a routing number, account number or account type (savings or checking) is changed for a person, a new prenote transaction will automatically be created for the next week to test the new numbers and the employee will receive a regular check. A new prenote will also be issued if the employee changes banks. If Send Prenotes is not checked, no prenotes will ever be sent. Employees will immediately begin receiving pay via direct deposit.
