Banking
If you're in Australia, or if you bank with ASB, ANZ, BNZ or Westpac in New Zealand, you can pay the employee electronically. First, make sure you've enabled electronic payments in your payroll settings (Payroll menu > Payroll settings). You will then be able to enter your employees' banking details.
If the employee wants to split their pay between two bank accounts, select this option and enter the required details for both accounts. If you're not paying an employee electronically, you can ignore these options.
See Paying employees electronically to learn more about setting up and processing electronic pays.
Can't click Save? Make sure you've entered all mandatory info (these fields are highlighted in yellow). Also click the Tax tab and make sure you've entered your employees' tax details.
