Hi folks. I'd like to know what kind of costs other cities are experiencing (if any) for electronic payroll distribution. This is where you instruct your bank to distribute payroll amounts to your employees who have accounts at your bank by electronically crediting their accounts, and to send electronic files to other banks for crediting employee accounts with them. How much does it cost per employee check and/or per account? Do you have a limit on the number of accounts an employee can have? Do you charge the employee for this service and if so, how much? Did you have any union problems with implementation? Or did you present it as an employee benefit? It would be nice to get a response by Wednesday, 3/8. Also, it would be nice to know which bank you are with. But if your contract precludes publication of this info, then just don't mention the bank name. Thanks, and I will publish the results.
