We've worked with several agency representatives to develop this form. Main changes include: -- Removing AccelaPay enrollment from this form, and creating a new form just for AccelaPay -- New mandatory international transaction certification -- Including a way for an employee to cancel one deposit and start another on just one form -- Including an "old" and "new" amount line -- Reduce the form from four pages to one -- Comply with new DAS-mandated template format -- Simplify language to be plain-language whenever possible -- Build the form based on the employee's ease of use We plan to have both of these forms "live" on our Web site by Friday, 6/4/2010. Please use up existing paper stock and if possible, hold off on printing new forms until this goes live. We will send another announcement once the forms are available on the Web site. OSPS wishes to thank payroll staff at DCBS, DHS, ODOT, Legislature, and Corrections for their contributions to the success of this new form. *NACHA is "NACHA-The Electronic Payments Association", formerly National Automated Clearing House Association. They establish operating rules and business practices for the ACH Network.
