Deposit of compensation in employee's account in a financial
institution; written request by employee
Sec. 2. (a) A state employee may make a written request that any
compensation due from the state be deposited to the employee's
account in a financial institution. Upon receipt of the request, the
auditor of state may:
(1) draw a warrant in favor of the financial institution set forth
in the request for the credit of the employee;
(2) in the event more than one (1) employee of the state
designates the same financial institution, draw a single warrant
in favor of the financial institution for the total amount due the
employees and transmit the warrant to the financial institution
identifying each employee and the amount to be deposited in
each employee's account; or
(3) make a direct deposit to the bank or trust company by
electronic funds transfer under IC 4-13-2-7.
(b) The employee's written request shall authorize in advance the
direct deposit by warrant or electronic funds transfer of the
employee's earnings each time a payroll warrant or electronic funds
transfer is issued on the employee's behalf. The employee's written
authorization must designate a financial institution and an account
number to which the payment is to be credited. The employee's
authorization remains in effect until the employee revokes it in
writing.
