GRCC Will Begin Paying All Employees Electronically in July

Grand Rapids Community College will implement a policy of 100% electronic payment for paychecks issued on or after July 6, 2012. This will be achieved through traditional direct deposit and with the use of pay cards.

Human Resources has decided to partner with Lake Michigan Credit Union to provide pay cards to employees. This new initiative will save College resources while still allowing an option for those who do not want to move to direct deposit.

Employees who are currently receiving a paper check have the option of signing up for direct deposit to any two financial institutions of their choice, or to sign up for the new pay card option. Forms will be available in the payroll department starting with the May 25, 2012 pay date.
