4. Go to the Direct Deposit tab.
5. Place a checkmark in the "Direct deposit paycheques for this employee" box.
6. Enter the banking information.
7. Enter a fixed amount or percentage.  
8. If you use an amount and a percentage for different accounts.
   • Enter the account on the first line where you’ll deposit first
   • Then enter the amount or percentage 
   • Enter the second account on the second line and enter the Percentage
   • All percentages must equal 100% before leaving the window
        
9. Repeat this process for all employees using direct deposit.

You can now create paycheques and generate a payroll direct deposit electronic file to send to the bank if needed.
