[Busmanagers] Direct Deposit

[Sue Gullick]

Hi Ingrid

Not sure what the concerns are.  I am assuming you are not on C21 
Finance.  When you are, there are no vouchers.  There is a certification to 
be signed by the Principal.  Cases Finances just requires that you have two 
signatures sign the vouchers plus yourself.  Can't understand what the 
concern is because the risk is the same with both systems!!  Direct debit 
is magic.  I have been doing it for 6 years and you would want to go back 
to cheques, I know I certainly wouldn't.  No hassle and bother at all and 
as far as time management goes, there is so much less work.  I would 
suggest to your Councillor that he/she is behind the times - big time.  You 
could always instigate an internal control process that one of the 
Councillors signs the two payrolls at each meeting.  Go for it - you 
certainly won't regret it.  You could mention that DE&T only pays by direct 
credit to its employees
