Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for Direct Deposit?
All employees are eligible.

When will direct deposit start?
The Direct Deposit Program is scheduled to begin as enrollment forms are received and the bank prenotification requirement is met. It will take between 14 to 24 working days from the receipt of the enrollment form to start your Direct Deposit. During this time, the system requires a process called "prenotification" to ensure that your financial institution's routing number and your account number are properly recognized.

How do I change my direct deposit?
Log onto the PGCPS Oracle Self-Service site. Click on the Direct Deposit link and add up to five additional bank accounts to your pay method record by clicking on the Add Direct Deposit button. (See User Guide) You may also complete a direct deposit form and submit it to Treasury Operations along with a picture identification.

Paper Pay Check Distribution Changes

Attention All Employees:

In an effort to automate processes and eliminate problems in the distribution of paper checks, Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) is promoting Direct Deposit. Direct deposit allows paperless transmittal between PGCPS and banking institutions and provides a safe, reliable method for ensuring employee’s receipt of their pay.

Direct deposit provides assurance that an employee’s pay will be in their bank account on payday even if severe weather such as a hurricane, snow day or other circumstances (e.g., power outage) may prevent employees’ from picking up their paycheck or having their paycheck delivered to their work location. Direct deposit is safe, simple, and secure; and with direct deposit there are no lost checks. Direct deposit of pay is available to all employees including temporary employees and substitute staff.

PGCPS will no longer allow employees to pick up checks or deliver checks to work locations. All checks will be mailed to the employees’ address on record. No exceptions or accommodations will be authorized.

If you are NOT on direct deposit, you need to check your home mailing address on Oracle Self Service to ensure it is correct!

So sign up today for Direct Deposit using Oracle Self-Service! You will be glad you did!!
