Follow these steps to update a team member's default payment method in CleanCloud Payroll:

  1. Go to Settings → Users → Manage User Accounts.

  2. Select Manage Gusto Employees or Manage Gusto Contractors.
    (This depends on the team member’s employment status.)

  3. Click the ⫶ Icon next to the individual you wish to update and select Edit Employee.

  4. Select Payment Method on the employee’s profile.

  5. Choose Direct Deposit or Check based on the employee’s preference.

    • If you select Direct Deposit, enter the correct Routing Number, Account Number, and select the correct Account Type.

    • If you select Check, you will be required to write a physical check to this employee every payday.
      (We will tell you the exact amount to pay.)

  6. Click Save & Continue to update the information.


Edit a Team Member's Payment Method for One Payroll Only

Changing the payment method during payroll will only affect that single payroll.
Future payrolls will revert to the employee’s current default payment method settings.

  1. Go to Settings → Users → Payroll.

  2. Click Run Payroll for the relevant pay period.

  3. Select the Payment Method you wish to use for each employee (Direct Deposit or Check).

  4. Run payroll as usual.

📌 Note: Follow the same steps to edit a contractor’s payment method for just one payroll.


Add Multiple Employee Bank Accounts & Split Payments

You can add multiple bank accounts for an employee and split their paycheck between accounts.

  1. Go to Settings → Users → Manage User Accounts.

  2. Select Manage Gusto Employees or Manage Gusto Contractors.
    (Based on the team member’s employment status.)

  3. Click the ⫶ Icon and select Edit Employee.

  4. Select Payment Method on the employee’s profile.

  5. Click + Add Bank Account to add a secondary bank account.

  6. Click Split Paycheck.

    • You can split the employee’s paycheck either by a fixed dollar amount or by a percentage.

    • Set the priority and amount for the split to complete the setup.

  7. Click Save & Continue.


Important Note

⚠️ Currently, CleanCloud Payroll does not support payroll cards (prepaid debit cards).


Employees must be paid via direct deposit to a regular bank account or by physical check.
