Use the Process Payroll EFT Payments window to create a pay file that can be interpreted by banks to electronically transfer funds from your organisation's bank account to individual payroll members' accounts.
After processing, a preview of the Bank Deposit Slip is displayed. You can double check EFT payments, then either:
- choose to print a hard copy of the slip
- close the window and make alterations to your pay.
