All Bates employees are required to enroll in direct deposit as a condition of employment. To enroll, employees must complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement on Garnet Gateway For a guide on how to set up direct deposit, watch the How to Update your Direct Deposit Information training video on the Human Resources Updated Garnet Gateway Training page.

The College transmits direct deposit two days before the scheduled pay date. Your banking institutions will make your payment available at some time on the actual pay date. Payroll will not take action on direct deposit failing to appear in your account until after 2:00 p.m. on payday, as it is likely that your bank has the money and has not yet made it available for withdrawal.
