Overview
Sometimes Payroll may ask you to resubmit your documents (like Direct Deposit or Tax Forms). This doesn’t mean you did something wrong—it usually just means something was missing, incorrect, or needs updating to meet compliance requirements.
Common Reasons You May Need to Resubmit
1. Missing Information
- A field was left blank (e.g., Social Security Number, Tax ID, or address).
- Your Direct Deposit form was submitted without a voided check or bank slip.
2. Incorrect Information
- Routing or account number entered incorrectly.
- Tax form doesn’t match your legal name or government ID.
- Wrong tax form submitted (e.g., W-8BEN submitted when you should have used I-9 and W-4).
3. Expired or Outdated Forms
- You changed banks and didn’t update your Direct Deposit form.
- You moved to a new address but still have your old one on file.
- Your work authorization or compliance paperwork expired.
4. Signature Issues
- Missing signature or date on your forms.
- Digital signature didn’t process correctly.
What To Do Next
- Check the email from Payroll for instructions.
- Log in to the payroll platform.
- Open the document that needs resubmission.
- Correct or update the information.
- Re-submit and make sure you see a confirmation message.
Tips to Avoid Future Resubmissions
- Always double-check your forms before submitting.
- Use your full legal name exactly as shown on your ID.
- Make sure your bank details are correct and current.
- Keep copies of all submissions for your records.
