J-Ess Tutorial – Direct Deposit Main PageUse J-Ess to update your direct deposit banking information. If you change banks or want to distribute your pay to different accounts (up to four), update your routing and account numbers as needed. In the example below, Duke Dog has three bank accounts where his pay is deposited.

Click Savings or Checking links to view account details


J-Ess Tutorial – Edit Existing Account

From the main page, click the Edit button beside the account you wish to update. You can update the account type, deposit type, amount/percent, routing number, account number and deposit order.


J-Ess Tutorial – Add New Account

Add a new account when you want to distribute your deposit to multiple accounts. For example, you may want $50 of every deposit to go to your savings account, $50 to go to a savings account for your child, and the balance to go to your joint checking account. You may have up to four accounts.


J-Ess Tutorial – Balance Account

You must always have exactly one account with a Deposit Type=Balance. This is referred to as your “balance account” and can only be edited and never deleted. When you edit, you will notice that you can change only the account type, routing and account numbers. If you have more than one account, your balance account will be used as a “catch all” for the funds remaining after other accounts have processed.

If you try to create a new balance account, you will receive an error message.


J-Ess Tutorial – Account Type/Deposit Type

After clicking the Edit button, proceed to update information as needed. All fields are required, but you do not need to update them if the information is unchanged. For example, you may want to simply adjust the amount of each direct deposit that goes to your Savings account.


J-Ess Tutorial – Amount or PercentageThe Deposit Type and Amount/Percent fields work together to determine how much money of your direct deposit is allocated to this bank account. If you select Percent as your Deposit Type, be sure the number you enter in the Amount/Percent field corresponds to the type (e.g. 10 percent of a $1,000 paycheck is $100 versus a fixed $10 allocation).


J-Ess Tutorial – Routing NumberWhen updating the Routing Number, J-Ess will confirm that you have entered a valid number by populating the bank name after you have tabbed or clicked off the routing number field. If you do not see a bank name appear, check your routing number. The changes will not save without an accurate routing number and you will receive an error message when you attempt to save. Invalid Routing

NumberValid Routing Number


J-Ess Tutorial – Account NumberTake extra care when entering your bank account number. An incorrect number will cause your direct deposit to go to an incorrect account or possibly to another person’s account. If you need help locating your bank routing and account numbers, click “View check example” from the Edit page. Use your personal checks to locate your routing and account information.


J-Ess Tutorial – Deposit OrderThe Deposit Order of each account determines the order in which your direct deposit funds are processed. If you have more than one account, you must designate the processing order. If you enter a duplicate deposit order, you will receive an error message when you click or tab off of the field.


J-Ess Tutorial – Acknowledgement

With the ability to update your direct deposit banking information comes a responsibility to make sure the information is accurate to avoid any delays in your pay reaching your account. When adding a new account or updating an existing account, you must acknowledge that you understand this responsibility prior to saving. You will receive an error message if you do not check the acknowledgement box.


J-Ess Tutorial – Save ConfirmationIf you completed all of the required fields and marked the acknowledgement box, you should receive a Save confirmation message after clicking “Save” on the editing screen. Click OK to return to the main Direct Deposit page.


J-Ess Tutorial – View ChangesThe Direct Deposit main page reflects your change from a $325 Amount to a 10% Percent allocation.


J-Ess Tutorial – Email Notification

You will receive an email auto-notification alerting you that a change(s) was made to your direct deposit banking information. If you did not make a change, you should contact the JMU Payroll Office. To make additional changes, log in to J-Ess again.


J-Ess Tutorial – Delete AccountDelete an existing account if you no longer want to distribute any of your direct deposit to that account and do not wish to substitute a different account. Remember that you cannot delete your balance account. From the main Direct Deposit page, click the Delete button next to the account you wish to delete. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the account.
