Deduction Change Updates - Employee Access Center

Depending on the administration settings in EAC, employees can submit deduction updates using Employee Access Center (EAC). For these updates, the Entered by field displays EAC.

Depending on your versions of PowerSchool ERP and EAC, employees can upload supporting files when they submit direct deposit deduction changes through EAC, such as a void check file. If an employee uploads a file in EAC, click View Attachments to review the attached forms. After the EAC change records posts, attachments are available on the Employee Deductions page when you select the direct deposit record.

If an employee adds a direct deposit record in EAC with a routing number not in the EFT Bank Codes table:

  • The routing number and bank name display on this page with an Add Bank Code link. Use this option to update the EFT Bank Codes table.

  • If you do not assign a bank code to the record, a warning message displays on the edit report and the deduction will not post.

This feature is only available for versions 20.11 and later, depending on your version of EAC.
