Direct Deposits (15 KB) are in the bank as of the above dates and the cheques are mailed at least 3 days prior to the payroll date. Payroll stubs are attached to the Pension/Refund cheques and Direct Deposit Statements are mailed quarterly to the home address of those pensioners taking advantage of Direct Deposit.

Note: Direct Deposit is not available for Refunds because Refund cheques are not a recurring payment like the Pensioner Payroll cheques.
