Reversing Payroll - Request an ACH Reversal

Use this procedure to request an ACH reversal. Requesting an ACH reversal initiates a process in which the State of Washington attempts to recover a direct deposit payment from an employee’s financial institution.

You may not request an ACH reversal unless you are designated as your agency ACH Reversal Authorizer. For ACH Reversal Authorizer assistance or agency updates, please email HeretoHelp@ofm.wa.gov.

Reversing Payroll

Use these procedures to process necessary actions when reversing an employee’s payroll, such as requesting to recover funds using either the ACH reversal or warrant cancelation process, and reversing the payroll in HRMS with the Off-Cycle Workbench.

While these actions can be used in conjunction with each other, it is important to only process the necessary procedures. If you are uncertain of which should be completed, please email HereToHelp@ofm.wa.gov.
