Direct Deposit Updates

You can view your direct deposit and make changes in ESS by following these steps:
  1. Login to ESS https://ess2.finance.utah.gov/irj/portal
  2. If you get a home alert screen then click the tab that says “Payroll” (if not go to the next step)

  1. Click on Personal Information > Direct Deposits

    1. please note- the main bank, is the bank account where all of your funds get sent, you can also set up as many "other banks" as you'd like.  This is where you will specify an amount be sent to a certain account.
  2. To add or change your main bank, make sure the "bank details type" drop down menu says main bank and then click "new." If you'd like to add, edit, or delete an "other bank" make sure the "bank details type" drop down menu says other bank

  3. Fill out the requested information (routing number, account number, amount *only if it's an "other bank" if it's your main bank it will not ask you for an amount* etc...) then hit save
If you'd like to verify you added or made changes to your bank account information correctly you can open a ticket and we will be happy to take a look.

If you do not have access to ESS you can pull the direct deposit form (FI21) off of the gateway, fill it out, make sure to include supporting documentation from your bank such as a voided check or a direct deposit letter (your bank will know what this is) and return to us at payroll@utah.gov and we will update this for you.  We cannot setup your direct deposit without your supporting documentation so it is important you send this to us with your FI21 form.  We only need this information if you DO NOT set this up in ESS yourself. 

Paper forms will only be processed if the employee does not have access to ESS
