Central Payroll is alerting you to a change that only affects employeeswith payroll direct deposit that are former Washington Mutual Bank
customers. You may receive calls from employees stating that they received
an HCM message indicating they did not make any changes to their payroll
direct deposit account. They are receiving this automated message because
payroll has updated the employees payroll direct deposit account number in
HCM to the new Chase Bank account number. This change is necessary
because Chase bank purchased Washington Mutual and is now converting
previous Washington Mutual account customers over to Chase Bank account
numbers.
Central Payroll is sending affected employees a separate email informing
them that we have updated their account information, a sample of that
email is provided below and the reason why they will receive an HCM
message.
Please help us by informing your employees that due to this change if they
are normally to be paid on July 23rd or August 1st that they will receive
a paper paycheck. We understand that this will affect our employees and
want to make sure they have ample notice of this one time change. Their
pay will go direct deposit as normal on their next regularly scheduled
