Alabama county streamlines payroll process
In order to increase payroll process efficiency, employees in Etowah County, Alabama, will be required to enroll in a direct deposit program, according to the Gadsden Times.
"This will help us out tremendously to streamline our payroll process," county CEO Patrick Simms told commissioners according to the news source.
The change - which will be effective July 1 - will affect about half of the county's 333 full-time and 19 part-time employees. The rest already have chosen to receive their paychecks via direct deposit, according to the director of the county personnel department who was quoted by the news source.
Currently, checks must be separated according to whether they are paid by direct deposit - a step that will be eliminated by the new requirement.
Elsewhere in Alabama, state news site Al.com recently reported that a time management system intended to decrease overtime- and compensation-related costs will not be implemented by the Madison County Commission after commissioners failed to reach an agreement about whether it should apply to all employees.
