Direct Deposit Update | June 2, 2026

Direct Deposit updates in Garnet Gateway have been temporarily disabled for system maintenance. To add or update your direct deposit account(s), bring a photo ID and banking information to:

• Accounting at 221 Lane Hall, Mon, Wed, Fri, 9am-4pm
• Payroll Office at 215 College Street, Tues and Thurs, 9am – 4pm
• or by appointment at payroll@bates.edu

All Bates employees are required to enroll in direct deposit as a condition of employment.

The College transmits direct deposit two days before the scheduled pay date. Your banking institutions will make your payment available at some time on the actual pay date. Payroll will not take action on direct deposit failing to appear in your account until after 2:00 p.m. on payday, as it is likely that your bank has the money and has not yet made it available for withdrawal.
