Introduction
State of Alaska employees are strongly encouraged to designate a bank account for which their payroll can be deposited electronically each pay period. Current bank account designations can be viewed in IRIS, and updates can be requested by completing a Payroll Direct Deposit Form [PDF].
Signing up for Direct Deposit or Making Changes
State of Alaska employees may submit a Payroll Direct Deposit Form [PDF] to the Division of Finance's Payroll Production Team via email at doa.dof.pr.directdeposit@alaska.gov to sign-up or change direct deposit designations. Upon submission of a Payroll Direct Deposit Form [PDF], you will receive an automatic reply acknowledging receipt of the form and providing processing times. Instructions on how to complete this form are found on Page 1.

Helpful Information:
- To verify identity, this form MUST be submitted from the employee’s own State of Alaska email account -OR- be accompanied by a copy of a government issued ID (Passport, Driver’s License, State ID, Native American Tribal ID, etc).
- To verify the accuracy of account information for new deposit accounts, you MUST attach documentation that displays the account and routing number. Examples include a voided check, account statement, or screenshot of online account information.
- Employees may designate a bank account for their Net Pay Deposit and an optional Flat Amount Deposit to be deposited into another bank account.
- Direct deposit to foreign financial institutions is not allowed.
When to Expect Your First Deposit
Employees should allow up to two pay periods for processing a new deposit or change. If changing the flat dollar amount only, no pre-note will be necessary, and no delay in electronic deposits will occur. After setup, a pre-note process is initiated where information regarding the bank account is sent to the banking institution, but no monies are sent. During this verification process, any pay will be issued with an actual payroll warrant (paper paycheck). Once verified, the NET payroll will be sent electronically to the designated bank account.
Reviewing Current Direct Deposit Information
Active State of Alaska employees may review their current bank account designations through the IRIS Employee Portal under the Manage Direct Deposit quick link on the Employee homepage.
Finding Pay Stubs
Active State of Alaska employees may view their payroll advice (pay stub) online through the IRIS Employee Portal under the Pay / W-2 Information quick link on the Employee homepage.
