  • 1. EMPLOYEE BANK RETURN

    Step 1: Notification from NatPay

    • The NatPay user will email the Payroll Processor (typically the payroll team, as they pull the payroll file) using the Bank Return Template, providing all relevant details of the bank return.


    Step 2: Client Communication

    • The Implementation Specialist/Processor will copy and send the following email template to the client:


    Subject: Employee Bank Return – [Client Name]

    Email Template:
    Hello,

    The bank returned the direct deposit for the following employee:

    Employee: [Name]
    Check Date: [Date]
    Bank Reason: [Reason]
    Return Amount: [Amount]

    If you have new account information by 2:00 p.m., we can redirect the funds to the employee’s new account for the next business day’s deposit. Otherwise, the funds will be returned to the company account, and you can forward them to your employee directly.

    The account has been stopped until new information is received. Please verify the information with your employee and notify us of any changes.

    Your next invoice will include a $15.00 Employee Bank Return Fee.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
