Direct Deposit: The Way to Go
We Highly Recommend that you Opt for Direct Deposit
1. You will avoid delays in receipt of your paycheck
• You will receive electronic payments much faster than checks sent
via snail mail
2. Electronic payments are environmentally friendly
• One of the reasons Artech is implementing an ERP system is to cut
back on the use of paper. Read about our Artech Green program
3. State Mandates
• Many states now allow employers to mandate direct deposits in
order for their employees to get paid faster
