isolvedHCM Direct Deposit Change, Split Payroll, and Account Verification

An employee opens isolvedHCM and adds a new bank account before payday.

The new information appears in the employee portal, but the next paycheck still goes to the old account.

Another worker wants to divide wages between checking and savings but does not know which account should be marked for the remaining balance. A third employee receives an email claiming that direct deposit failed and must be “reverified” through an unfamiliar link.

Direct-deposit changes involve more than entering a routing number.

The employee should confirm:

• Whether self-service changes are enabled.
• Whether employer approval is required.
• Which payroll date will use the new account.
• Whether the bank account must pass verification.
• How fixed amounts and percentages are applied.
• Where any remaining net pay will be sent.
• What happens if the account is closed or incorrect.
• Whether an unexpected change was fraudulent.

The official isolved employee FAQ says employees whose employers enable the feature can review and change direct-deposit information by navigating to Pay and Tax → Direct Deposit. The same FAQ directs employees to their company’s HR administrator when the setup appears correct but a payroll problem remains.

This is an independent informational guide. It is not operated by isolved, an employer, a bank, or a payroll processor. It does not collect routing numbers, bank account numbers, employee credentials, or payroll documents.

What is isolvedHCM?

The search term isolvedhcm generally refers to isolved People Cloud, a human capital management platform used by employers for payroll, HR, timekeeping, benefits, and employee self-service.

The official isolved login directory routes users to People Cloud and separate Benefit Services accounts.

Depending on employer configuration, employees can use People Cloud to:

• Review pay history.
• Access pay stubs.
• View tax documents.
• Manage time off.
• Review timesheets.
• Update personal details.
• Change direct deposit.
• Access other company information.

The official isolved mobile-app page specifically states that employees can update direct-deposit details, review pay history, manage time off, and access other HR information through supported mobile devices.

Not every employer enables every feature.

Where to find direct deposit in isolvedHCM

After signing in to the correct People Cloud account:

1. Open the main employee menu.
2. Select Pay and Tax.
3. Select Direct Deposit.
4. Review the accounts currently listed.
5. Confirm the allocation attached to each account.
6. Add, edit, or remove information only when the employer permits self-service changes.
7. Save the change.
8. Review any confirmation or approval status.

The exact menu wording can vary by employer configuration and interface version.

The official employee FAQ currently identifies Pay and Tax → Direct Deposit as the employee path for viewing and changing deposit details.

Use the correct isolved employer account

An employee can have more than one employer using isolved.

Before changing banking details, verify:

• Employer name.
• Employee profile.
• Current job.
• Pay group.
• Email account.
• Company-specific People Cloud instance.

A change made under one employer may not affect another employer’s payroll.

The central People Cloud login begins with the account email and routes the employee into the appropriate identity process.

Do not assume that seeing an isolved logo means the correct employer account is open.

Information needed for direct deposit

A standard direct-deposit setup can require:

• Name of financial institution.
• Routing number.
• Account number.
• Checking or savings selection.
• Deposit type.
• Fixed amount.
• Percentage.
• Remaining net pay designation.
• Effective or start date where displayed.
• Supporting documentation where required.

The official isolved direct-deposit glossary explains that employees generally provide a routing number and account number to begin payroll direct deposit. It also describes direct deposit as an ACH payment that sends wages electronically into the recipient’s account.

Do not confuse:

• Debit-card number.
• Bank account number.
• Routing number.
• Payroll-card number.
• Wire-transfer instructions.

They are not interchangeable.

Routing number versus account number

The routing number identifies the financial institution or ACH destination.

The account number identifies the employee’s specific checking, savings, or other eligible account.

Both must be accurate.

Common mistakes include:

• Entering the debit-card number as the account number.
• Reversing routing and account fields.
• Copying a wire-routing number rather than the ACH routing number.
• Omitting a digit.
• Entering an old closed account.
• Selecting savings for a checking account.
• Using another person’s account without confirming employer and bank requirements.

Confirm the details directly with the financial institution.

Do not rely only on numbers printed on an old deposit slip.

Do not use the number printed on a debit card

The number printed across a debit card is usually a card-network credential used for purchases.

It is generally not the checking-account number used for payroll ACH deposits.

Use information obtained from:

• Authenticated bank account.
• Official bank documentation.
• Bank customer service.
• Voided check where accepted.
• Employer-approved deposit form.

Do not post a photograph of a debit card or check in a support forum.

ACH direct deposit

Direct deposit is normally processed through the Automated Clearing House system.

The official isolved ACH glossary describes an ACH credit as a payment pushed by an originator into a recipient’s designated account. Common examples include wages, tax refunds, and government benefits.

For payroll:

• Employer or payroll processor originates the credit.
• Employee supplies the destination.
• Bank or eligible account receives the payment.
• Funds become available according to the receiving institution’s rules and applicable law.

isolved can record and process the employer’s payroll instructions, but the employee’s bank controls the receiving account.

Saving the change does not guarantee immediate use

A direct-deposit change can have several stages:

1. Employee enters information.
2. System validates the required fields.
3. Employer reviews or approves the request.
4. Payroll deadline arrives.
5. Payroll file is created.
6. Payment is transmitted.
7. Receiving bank accepts or returns it.

A change can appear in isolved while the current payroll was already finalized using the previous information.

Ask payroll:

• Was the change approved?
• Did it occur before the cutoff?
• Which pay date will use it?
• Will the next check go to the old account?
• Is a paper check expected during verification?

Do not close the previous account until the employer confirms the transition.

Payroll cutoff dates

Employers must finalize payroll before payday.

The exact cutoff may depend on:

• Pay frequency.
• ACH submission schedule.
• Weekend.
• Federal holiday.
• Internal approval.
• Payroll processor deadlines.
• Employer policy.

A Friday payday might require the payroll file to be completed several days earlier.

A direct-deposit change entered Wednesday evening may be too late for that Friday’s payroll.

The portal’s timestamp does not override the employer’s processing deadline.

What is a prenote?

A prenote, or pre-notification entry, is a non-dollar ACH test that can be used to verify routing and account information before live payroll is sent.

Not every employer uses prenotes.

When a prenote is used:

• No wages are deposited through the test itself.
• The receiving institution checks the account information.
• Payroll may continue using the old account or another method temporarily.
• A failed test can delay activation of the new account.

The current official isolved employee FAQ confirms employees can manage direct deposit but does not establish one universal prenote procedure for every employer.

Ask the employer whether its payroll configuration uses prenotes.

Microdeposits are not always part of payroll setup

Consumer financial applications sometimes verify accounts with small deposits.

Payroll direct deposit may instead use:

• Employer review.
• Prenote.
• Bank-document validation.
• Immediate field validation.
• No preliminary test.

Do not assume two small verification deposits will appear.

Do not give an unknown caller the amounts of verification deposits unless the employee personally initiated a verified bank-linking process.

Employer approval

An employer can require HR or payroll approval before a direct-deposit change becomes active.

Reasons include:

• Fraud prevention.
• Account ownership review.
• Payroll cutoff control.
• Required documentation.
• Duplicate account detection.
• Unusual destination change.
• Recent employee-profile modification.

Possible statuses include:

• Draft.
• Submitted.
• Pending approval.
• Approved.
• Rejected.
• Effective next payroll.
• Inactive.

A saved entry is not always an approved entry.

Review the status or ask payroll for written confirmation.

Adding more than one bank account

Some employers allow employees to split net pay among multiple accounts.

Possible destinations include:

• Primary checking.
• Savings.
• Secondary checking.
• Payroll card.
• Another eligible account.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau notes that employees may be able to divide direct-deposited pay between checking and savings accounts when the employer supports split deposits.

The exact number of accounts and allocation methods depends on the employer’s isolved configuration.

Fixed-amount allocation

A fixed-amount instruction sends a stated dollar amount to one account.

Example:

Savings account: $150
Remaining net pay: checking account

If net pay is $1,000:

• Savings receives $150.
• Checking receives $850.

If net pay is only $120, the employer’s payroll rules determine whether:

• Savings receives the available $120.
• The instruction is rejected.
• Another priority is applied.
• A different account receives the pay.

Ask payroll how insufficient net pay is handled when fixed allocations exceed the paycheck.

Percentage allocation

A percentage instruction sends a portion of net pay to an account.

Example:

Savings: 20%
Primary checking: remaining balance

If net pay is $1,000:

• Savings receives $200.
• Checking receives $800.

Percentage allocations can change automatically as net pay changes.

A bonus, overtime payment, or reduced paycheck can therefore produce different dollar amounts.

Remaining-balance account

One account often needs to receive the amount left after all fixed or percentage allocations are applied.

It might be described as:

• Remaining balance.
• Remainder.
• Net pay balance.
• Primary account.
• 100% remainder.
• Balance account.

Example:

Account 1: $100 fixed
Account 2: 10%
Account 3: remaining balance

For a $1,000 net paycheck:

• Account 1 receives $100.
• Account 2 receives an amount based on the employer’s configured calculation order.
• Account 3 receives whatever remains.

Confirm the allocation order because systems can apply fixed and percentage instructions differently.

Do not create conflicting allocations

Problems can arise when:

• Two accounts are both marked as remaining balance.
• Percentages total more than 100%.
• No remainder account exists.
• A fixed amount exceeds normal net pay.
• Inactive account remains in the priority list.
• Old and new accounts share the same order.
• Account type is incorrect.

Review the complete deposit list after saving.

Do not look only at the newly added account.

Removing the old account

Do not remove the old account until:

• New information is approved.
• Effective payroll date is known.
• Bank can receive ACH credits.
• Pending payroll is understood.
• Employer confirms the old account is no longer needed.

Closing the old bank account too early can cause payroll to be returned.

The CFPB recommends keeping the old account open while transferring direct deposits and automatic transactions to a new account, then closing it only after confirming the transition.

Closed bank account

When payroll is sent to a closed account, possible outcomes include:

• Bank rejects the ACH credit.
• Funds return to the employer.
• Bank temporarily reopens or redirects the account under its policies.
• Deposit is delayed while records are reviewed.
• Employer issues a replacement payment.

The employee should contact both:

• Employer payroll.
• Former bank.

Ask payroll for:

• Amount.
• Submission date.
• Destination account ending digits.
• Return status.
• ACH trace information.
• Reissue method.
• Replacement pay date.

Do not assume isolved can recover the funds without the employer’s involvement.

Incorrect account number

A deposit sent to an incorrect account can have several outcomes.

Account does not exist

The receiving institution may reject and return the payment.

Account exists under another person

Recovery can be more complicated.

Number belongs to another account owned by the employee

The money may arrive in an unexpected account.

Routing number is wrong

The payment can be rejected or sent to another institution depending on the number entered.

Report the mistake immediately.

Do not wait until the next payroll.

The bank says no deposit exists

Ask payroll whether the payment was:

• Created.
• Submitted.
• Accepted by the ACH operator.
• Returned.
• Rejected.
• Still pending.
• Sent to the old account.
• Converted to paper check.

Request the ACH trace number when available.

The receiving bank may use that number to research the incoming credit.

A screenshot showing the direct-deposit setup is not the same as proof that a specific payroll payment was transmitted.

The employer says the deposit was sent

Provide the bank with:

• Amount.
• Effective date.
• Originating company name.
• ACH trace number.
• Last digits of destination account.
• Account type.

Then ask the bank whether the credit:

• Posted.
• Was rejected.
• Was returned.
• Was frozen.
• Was applied to another account.
• Is pending identity or account review.

Do not share online banking credentials with payroll.

Direct deposit still went to the old account

Possible reasons include:

• Change missed payroll cutoff.
• Employer had not approved it.
• New account failed verification.
• Old account remained higher in priority.
• Employee changed the wrong employer profile.
• Payroll was already processed.
• New entry was saved as inactive.
• Only part of the paycheck was redirected.

Review the pay stub’s deposit section.

A pay stub can show:

• Deposit amount.
• Destination ending digits.
• Multiple allocations.
• Paper-check portion.

The official isolved employee FAQ says employees can review current and preview paycheck stubs under Pay and Tax → Pay History when the account information is correct.

Preview paycheck information

When the employer enables preview information, the employee may be able to review an upcoming paycheck before payday.

Check:

• Net pay.
• Deposit destinations.
• Last account digits.
• Fixed allocations.
• Remaining balance.
• Paper-check amount.

A preview can help catch a problem before payment completes.

It is not always a final guarantee because payroll can still be adjusted before processing.

Report an unfamiliar destination immediately.

Direct deposit changed without permission

An unauthorized payroll change is urgent.

Warning signs include:

• Unknown bank account.
• Small new fixed allocation.
• Existing account removed.
• New remainder account.
• Unexpected confirmation email.
• Password-reset message not initiated by the employee.
• Payroll deposit missing.
• Email or phone information changed.
• Unknown login activity.

Take these steps:

1. Contact employer payroll or HR immediately.
2. Ask them to freeze further payroll-profile changes.
3. Change the isolved password.
4. Secure the connected email account.
5. Review multifactor or recovery information.
6. Record the unknown account’s last digits.
7. Confirm whether payroll was already processed.
8. Ask whether the ACH payment can be recalled or corrected.
9. Obtain a case or incident number.
10. Follow employer identity-theft procedures.

Do not delete the suspicious account entry before preserving evidence unless payroll directs immediate removal.

Small payroll diversion

A criminal may avoid replacing the entire direct deposit.

Instead, the attacker can add:

• $50 fixed amount.
• 5% allocation.
• Secondary account.
• Temporary destination for bonuses.

The main paycheck still reaches the employee, making the theft harder to notice.

Review every account and allocation—not only the primary destination.

Compare each pay stub with the expected net amount.

Email compromise

An attacker with access to the employee’s email may be able to:

• Reset the isolved password.
• Intercept security messages.
• Hide payroll alerts.
• Impersonate the employee to HR.
• Change recovery information.

When compromise is suspected:

1. Change the email password.
2. Sign out unknown sessions.
3. Review forwarding rules.
4. Enable multifactor authentication.
5. Change the isolved password.
6. Contact HR.
7. Review direct-deposit details.
8. Review recent pay stubs.

Do not use the same password for email and isolved.

Fake payroll email

A phishing message may claim:

• Direct deposit has expired.
• Payroll account failed verification.
• Employee must confirm banking information.
• Wages are being held.
• A new isolved security update is required.
• Employer changed payroll providers.
• Bank details must be entered before a deadline.

Warning signs include:

• Misspelled domain.
• Personal sender address.
• Unexpected attachment.
• Login page outside the known isolved or employer domain.
• Request for bank password.
• Request for debit-card PIN.
• Request for a one-time authentication code.
• Urgent threat of unpaid wages.
• Remote-access software.

Open People Cloud independently instead of using the message link.

HR impersonation

A criminal can impersonate an employee and email HR:

“I changed banks. Please update my direct deposit today.”

Employers should independently verify sensitive payroll changes.

Employees can protect themselves by:

• Keeping contact information current.
• Using official self-service rather than ordinary email.
• Reporting suspicious confirmation messages.
• Asking whether the employer uses call-back verification.
• Reviewing deposit details before every payday.

Do not email full routing and account numbers to a manager unless the employer has a verified secure process.

Bank account ownership

Some employers require the destination account to be owned by the employee.

Others may permit deposits to a joint account or another eligible account under defined rules.

Before using someone else’s account, ask:

• Does employer policy permit it?
• Does the bank accept payroll in the employee’s name?
• Is a joint account required?
• Is documentation needed?
• What happens if the relationship changes?
• Who legally controls the funds after deposit?

Do not use a stranger’s account or an account offered by an online “payroll helper.”

Payroll card as a direct-deposit destination

An employee may be able to send wages to an eligible prepaid or payroll-card account when both the employer and account provider permit it.

Use:

• ACH routing number.
• Deposit account number.
• Correct account type.

Do not use the 16-digit purchase card number unless official instructions specifically identify it as the deposit credential.

The CFPB states that employers cannot require workers to accept only a payroll card and must provide at least one alternative wage-payment method.

Paper check during verification

An employer can temporarily issue a paper check when:

• Direct deposit is not active.
• Account verification is pending.
• ACH payment was returned.
• Employee entered incorrect information.
• New hire setup was incomplete.
• Payroll cutoff was missed.

Ask:

• Is the check mailed or collected?
• Which address is used?
• Is identification required?
• Is the amount shown in isolved?
• Will the next payroll use direct deposit?
• Must the employee submit another form?

Do not assume the absence of an electronic deposit means wages were never issued.

Direct-deposit change after payroll processing

Once payroll is transmitted, changing the account in isolved generally affects future payments rather than automatically redirecting the payment already in progress.

Payroll may attempt:

• ACH recall.
• Reversal where legally and operationally permitted.
• Bank research.
• Replacement after return.
• Manual check.

These actions are handled by the employer and financial institutions.

An employee should not independently contact the recipient of a misdirected payroll deposit.

Deposit reversal

A payroll credit can sometimes be reversed when:

• Duplicate payment was sent.
• Amount was incorrect.
• Wrong employee received the money.
• Technical payroll error occurred.

An ACH reversal is not the normal method for changing future direct deposit.

Ask payroll for:

• Original amount.
• Reason for reversal.
• Corrected net pay.
• Reissue date.
• Updated pay stub.
• Tax treatment.

Do not return an alleged overpayment to a manager’s personal account.

Split deposit and bonuses

Employers can handle bonus payroll differently from regular payroll.

A bonus may:

• Follow regular deposit allocations.
• Go entirely to the remainder account.
• Be issued separately.
• Be placed on a payroll card.
• Be paid by check.

Ask whether the isolved direct-deposit allocation applies to:

• Regular payroll.
• Bonus payroll.
• Commission.
• Expense reimbursement.
• Final pay.
• Off-cycle corrections.

Do not assume all payments use the same destination.

Expense reimbursements

An employer may process reimbursements:

• Through payroll.
• Through accounts payable.
• Through an expense-management service.
• As a separate ACH credit.
• By check.

An expense reimbursement paid through payroll may follow the current direct-deposit allocation.

A reimbursement paid through another system may not.

The official isolved payroll materials describe direct deposit and paycard options as electronic alternatives for employee payments, but employers configure their own payment workflows.

Final paycheck

After employment ends, the final payment might be issued through:

• Existing direct deposit.
• Paper check.
• Payroll card.
• Separate off-cycle payment.
• Another method required by policy or state law.

Before termination access ends, review:

• Current direct-deposit accounts.
• Mailing address.
• Final pay date.
• PTO payout.
• Expense reimbursement.
• Former-employee portal access.

Do not remove the only valid account before final payroll unless the employer confirms another delivery method.

Changing direct deposit from the mobile app

The official isolved mobile app supports direct-deposit updates for employees whose employers enable the functionality.

When using a phone:

• Download the official People Cloud app.
• Use a locked personal device.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi.
• Confirm the employer profile.
• Review every digit before saving.
• Capture the confirmation without exposing full account numbers.
• Sign out of shared devices.

Do not install an APK supplied through an email or text.

Biometric login

The official mobile-app page describes biometric authentication options such as Face ID on supported devices.

Biometric login can reduce password exposure, but it does not protect an unlocked or shared phone.

Also protect:

• Email account.
• Device passcode.
• Cloud backup.
• Recovery methods.
• SIM or telephone account.

Remove isolved access before selling or transferring the device.

Direct deposit option is missing

The menu may be unavailable because:

• Employer disabled employee editing.
• HR must enter changes.
• Employee lacks permission.
• Payroll is currently locked.
• New-hire onboarding is incomplete.
• Employee is in the wrong company account.
• Employer uses another deposit system.
• Former-employee access is limited.

The official isolved contact guidance directs employees to their employer’s HR department for payroll and employee-account support because the employer controls access and records.

Ask for the employer’s approved alternative change process.

Direct deposit change is read-only

A read-only screen can mean:

• Employee can view but not edit.
• Payroll is processing.
• Employer approval is required.
• Change window is closed.
• Account is being reviewed.
• Employee status changed.

Do not attempt to bypass the restriction through developer tools or another employee’s account.

Contact payroll and document the request date.

Change disappears after saving

Possible causes include:

• Employer rejected it.
• Session expired.
• Required field missing.
• Validation failed.
• Duplicate account detected.
• Payroll lock reverted the draft.
• Employee used the wrong profile.
• Browser or app failed before submission.

Look for:

• Confirmation message.
• Pending status.
• Notification email.
• Employer approval request.
• Error banner.

Contact HR when no record of the submission remains.

“Invalid routing number”

An invalid-routing error can result from:

• Typographical mistake.
• Wire-routing number used.
• Unsupported institution.
• Outdated routing number.
• Account not eligible for ACH.
• Number entered in wrong field.
• Leading zero omitted.

Confirm the ACH routing number directly with the institution.

Do not guess nearby routing numbers.

“Duplicate account”

The same account may already exist under:

• Previous entry.
• Inactive allocation.
• Another priority.
• Separate fixed and remainder instructions.
• Old employee profile.

Review the full direct-deposit list.

Do not add the same account repeatedly unless payroll confirms that multiple allocations to the same account are supported and necessary.

Bank merger or routing-number change

Banks can merge or change routing arrangements.

The old number may continue working temporarily, but the employee should confirm:

• New ACH routing number.
• Effective date.
• Whether existing deposits are redirected.
• Whether account number changes.
• Whether isolved must be updated.

Use official bank communications.

Do not change details based only on a text message claiming the bank merged.

Direct deposit to a new online bank

Before using a new financial application, verify:

• It accepts payroll ACH credits.
• Correct routing and account numbers.
• Account is fully opened.
• Identity verification is complete.
• Deposit limits.
• Account is not temporary.
• Name matches payroll.
• Customer support is available.

Do not direct an entire paycheck to an unverified account solely because an application promises early pay.

Early direct deposit

A bank may make payroll available before the official payday.

That depends on when the bank receives the payroll file and its availability policy.

isolved and the employer should not be assumed to guarantee a specific early-access time.

The CFPB explains that direct-deposit funds generally must be available by the next business day after the receiving institution obtains them, but individual early-pay programs can make funds available sooner under their own terms.

Use the employer’s official payday for financial planning.

Account frozen by the bank

A deposit can arrive but remain unavailable because the receiving bank:

• Restricted the account.
• Needs identity verification.
• Suspects fraud.
• Is responding to a legal order.
• Closed the account.
• Applied an account offset under its terms.

isolved may show that payroll was issued correctly.

The employee must contact the bank about account availability.

Ask payroll for the ACH trace number if the bank cannot locate the credit.

Changing direct deposit does not change automatic bills

Moving payroll to a new bank does not automatically move:

• Utility autopay.
• Loan payments.
• Rent debits.
• Insurance.
• Subscriptions.
• Credit-card payments.

The CFPB recommends listing all automatic deposits and withdrawals when moving from one account to another.

Keep enough funds in the old account until valid automatic payments have been updated.

Useful new-account request

“I added a new checking account under Pay and Tax → Direct Deposit in isolvedHCM. Please confirm whether the change is approved, whether a prenote is required, and which payroll date will first use the new account.”

Useful split-deposit request

“I want $200 from each paycheck sent to savings and the remaining net pay sent to checking. Please confirm how to set the fixed allocation and which account should be designated for the remaining balance.”

Useful old-account request

“My isolved direct-deposit change was submitted after payroll cutoff. Please confirm whether the upcoming paycheck will still go to the old account and when it will be safe to close that account.”

Useful missing-deposit request

“My pay stub shows a $914.26 direct deposit to the account ending in 4821, but the bank cannot locate it. Please provide the ACH effective date, trace number, and current return status.”

Useful unauthorized-change request

“My isolvedHCM direct-deposit page contains an account I did not add. Please freeze payroll-profile changes, preserve the account-change history, confirm whether payroll was already transmitted, and begin the employer’s payroll-fraud response process.”

Useful returned-deposit request

“My bank closed the account before payroll was deposited. Please confirm whether the ACH credit was returned, when the employer received it, and how and when replacement wages will be issued.”

These requests provide enough information for payroll to investigate without including full banking credentials in an ordinary email.

Who should handle each problem?

Contact the employer’s payroll or HR department about:

• Approval status.
• Payroll cutoff.
• Effective pay date.
• Split allocations.
• Prenote policy.
• Missing direct-deposit menu.
• Returned payroll.
• Replacement payment.
• Unauthorized profile change.
• Pay-stub destination.
• Final paycheck.

Contact the receiving bank about:

• Correct routing and account numbers.
• Account eligibility.
• Deposit not visible after trace.
• Closed account.
• Frozen funds.
• Account ownership.
• ACH return.
• Bank merger.

Use isolved login recovery for:

• Forgotten password.
• Inaccessible account email.
• Login problem.
• Authentication issue.

The official isolved employee FAQ says the employer’s HR administrator should be contacted when direct-deposit information appears correct but assistance is still required.

Protect bank information

Never provide the following to an unsolicited caller or email sender:

• isolved password.
• Email password.
• One-time authentication code.
• Online banking password.
• Debit-card PIN.
• Full Social Security number.
• Remote control of the phone or computer.

A legitimate payroll direct-deposit setup requires bank routing and account details through an approved process.

It does not require the employee’s online banking password.

Payroll redirect scam warning signs

Be suspicious when someone says:

• Direct deposit must be verified through a new link.
• Wages will be canceled within one hour.
• HR needs the isolved password.
• A one-time code must be read over the phone.
• The employee must install remote-access software.
• Payroll should be sent to a temporary safe account.
• A manager changed bank providers without company notice.
• A fee is required to release payroll.
• Cryptocurrency or gift cards are needed.

Contact payroll using a known telephone number.

Do not reply to the suspicious message.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change direct deposit in isolvedHCM?

The official employee FAQ directs users to Pay and Tax → Direct Deposit after login, when the employer has enabled employee self-service changes.

Can I change it from the isolved mobile app?

Yes, supported employer configurations allow employees to update direct-deposit details through the official People Cloud mobile app.

When will the new account take effect?

The effective date depends on employer approval, payroll cutoff, verification procedures, and whether payroll has already been processed.

Can I split my paycheck?

Possibly. Employers may allow fixed amounts, percentages, or remaining-balance allocations across multiple accounts. Availability depends on the employer’s setup.

Why did payroll still go to my old bank?

The change may have missed the cutoff, remained pending, failed verification, or been configured with the old account still receiving the remaining balance.

What happens if the account number is wrong?

The bank may reject and return the deposit, or the funds may be misdirected if the number belongs to an active account. Report the error immediately.

Can isolved recover a deposit?

The employer’s payroll team and the involved financial institutions handle payment tracing, returns, recalls, and replacement wages. Employees should begin with employer payroll.

Does isolved need my bank password?

No. A direct-deposit setup can require routing and account numbers but should not require the employee’s online banking password.

Final point

isolvedHCM can give employees a convenient self-service path for managing direct deposit, but the change should not be considered complete until its status and effective payroll date are confirmed.

The employee should:

1. Sign in to the correct employer account.
2. Navigate to Pay and Tax → Direct Deposit.
3. Verify routing and account numbers carefully.
4. Select the correct account type.
5. Understand fixed, percentage, and remaining-balance allocations.
6. Ask whether employer approval or a prenote is required.
7. Confirm which payroll date will use the change.
8. Keep the old account open during the transition.
9. Review preview and completed pay stubs.
10. Report unauthorized deposit changes immediately.
11. Protect the connected email and isolved account.
12. Never provide a banking password, PIN, or one-time code.

The official isolved resources confirm that eligible employees can review and update direct-deposit details through People Cloud and its mobile application, while the employer controls payroll processing, permissions, and final assistance.
