Payroll Services

APA Services offers weekly payroll delivery, direct deposit and Paycheck Direct debit card.

Paychecks are delivered weekly to the job site via Federal Express or mailed via US Mail to the address indicated by the employee.

Although paper checks are available, our preferred method is direct deposit. What this means to you is that you will no longer have to deal with cashing your paper checks each week, but will instead have your paycheck automatically deposited into your bank account.

We stress that all APA contract employees utilize direct deposit so that we can better serve you, our valued employees. By using direct deposit, APA can pay you quickly and safely. You will no longer need to wait for checks to arrive and will no longer have to spend your free time cashing your check each week. Your paycheck will already be in your bank account first thing in the morning on payday.

In order to receive direct deposit you must have a bank account. You are welcome to use any bank account of your choice. In case you do not have a bank account, or cannot open an account, we have arranged to provide you with a debit card through Paycheck Direct that you can use to receive your paycheck. It is basically a "checkless" checking account and you cannot be turned down. It is also a great way to establish and/or improve your credit history.

In addition, you will also save money by immediately signing up for direct deposit. For example, if you receive 4 checks per month at an average of $1,000 each, you would spend between $120 and $200 per month on check cashing fees (assuming a fee of 3% - 5%). However, with one of these checking accounts, the cost would be under $15 per month. It is even less expensive than cashing your paper checks at the bank.

Please consider doing one of the following as soon as possible:

• Fax a copy of a voided check from your own bank account to our office at 800-285-8879 (we will need your account number and 9-digit bank routing number)
• Complete an enclosed Paycheck Direct debit card application and fax it to our office at 800-285-8879; there is no charge to receive a card.

If you are interested in receiving a Paycheck Direct debit card, you can visit their website at www.paycheck-direct.com. Service through Paycheck Direct is a great solution because it allows unlimited usage for one flat monthly fee, just like any other bank account. Even ATM transactions at select locations are free with this debit card.

If you have any questions, please contact the Payroll Services department at our office, or the staff at Paycheck Direct
