A virtual workforce could be just what your organization needs to combat both the tightening labor market and the cost of office space in major city centers.

Our office uses Wells Fargo for payroll and our direct deposits went in just fine on the 31st :)

Does anyone elses' company use Wells-Fargo for payroll?

Mine does and it seems like we have an inordinate amount of problems compared to other places I've worked. Invariably a few times a year, the direct deposits won't go through and they'll scramble to issue paper checks.

It happened again last week. Supposed to get paid on the 31st (which often means it'll show up on the 30th). Nothing. April 1st they're scrambling to send out paper checks to everyone. So I get mine, cash it, as does everyone else.

Sometime in the wee hours of April 2nd, I get the notification e-mail that my direct deposit is to clear by the 4th. Sure enough, it did. Unfortunately for everyone, the office wants the checks returned to them. A little late for that! To top it off, many of the checks issued bounced. Mine didn't fortunately, but others at my location...

@Laura Viars: Thank you -- that's what  I needed to hear.  We're being told that "ALL" Wells Fargo business customers had this issue, which smelled like a wet fart to me since I'm not seeing people complaining about it online.  I would have expected to see some noise about it on Google/Twitbook/etc. if there was a true widespread problem.

Lots of steps involved. There are deadlines/cutoff times. Hopefully your HR dept approved and sent the file to WF in time. But you're saying that WF missed this for all of their customers. Maybe their system went down. Maybe they missed the cutoff with the Federal Reserve. Might be time to start looking for a new payroll vendor. Not sure if ADP or Ceridian are partners here, but they'd be my go-to alternatives.

Hard to know for sure, but it does seem like maybe the company didn't move funds on time or missed a deadline and that delayed the deposits. On the other hand, I don't suppose WF is so perfect to never have an issue on their end.

"WelcometoWELLSFARGO!" they yell now anytime you walk in. Makes me feel.... right at corporate home.

Youth soccer org that I'm treasurer for uses Wells Fargo. Always having issues with them: say they'll include check images with statements; they never do; you order a replacement book of checks/deposit slips, and the branch manager looks at your book and orders something completely wrong; you need to remove an old board member name from the account and are told the deceased person needs a representative to come in and do it....

Yeah, everywhere I have been employed at has used ADP, and working in IT, the only issues I've had seen with "them" wasn't in their control. 

Dead time clock, no internet or some other issue out of their control. ADP has been wonderful IMO.

Follow-up:   I did get Wells-Fargo to confirm that they indeed had an "issue" with their DirectPay service...as to what that issue was, no one seems to know.  Worse, no one would talk with our HR department or firm partners about it.  

Not satisfied with that answer, it sounds like our management will be pursuing a different bank.  

Financial Transparency: How to Foster Employee Trust

Financial transparency means making financial information as visible and accessible.

Some information simply must be shared for complete and compliant...Read More »

Sometimes, you want to have a gap—a gap between you in front and your competitors far behind.

Surveys have found that as many as 80 percent of companies think […]

We use ADP and they conveniently forgot to pay Social Security. It was being removed from our checks, but we all got letters from SS stating no money was deposited into our accounts. Trying to fix it is fun, you call them and get put into a "let me transfer you" circle.
