### A couple things you should know about setting up direct deposit...

![direct deposit not mandated.png](https://info.completepayroll.com/hs-fs/hubfs/direct%20deposit%20not%20mandated.png?width=75&name=direct%20deposit%20not%20mandated.png "direct deposit not mandated.png")

#### Must not be required

You as an employer are not allowed to require them to be paid by direct deposit. You have to give them the option of being paid by live, physical checks.

#### Not a typical employee form

Unlike the other state and federal forms we just went over, there is no officially-sanctioned direct deposit form.

#### There are 2 sections

The first authorizes the employer to make wage payments directly into the employee's bank account. The second outlines any specifications the employee wants to make, like multiple accounts, etc.
