Did my check go direct deposit? (Mainly for the first time)

To verify if your PCA payment was deposited into your bank account on the Friday of your pay cycle, please call your bank first. At the same time, your employer will be getting the non-negotiable check voucher with your payroll information on it.

How do I stop my PCA's direct deposit?

Please have your PCA request this in writing. Make sure they include your (employer's) name and company code. They will then need to provide us a new account for direct deposit by completing a Stavros direct deposit form with proof of account. Direct deposit is mandatory for all PCAs.

How can I get more timesheets, W-4s, I-9s, PCA Signature forms, or your weekly schedules?

You can download them from our site and print them from home if you have access to a printer. If you do not have access to a printer, you can request to have forms mailed to you by calling our Customer Service Department.
