Update as of October 16, 2024:
Effective October 16, 2024, we will be transitioning back to manual entries for direct deposit set-up and updates. This decision is in response to recent fraudulent activity and aims to mitigate potential risks to our employees' finances
Please be advised that SFUSD will never send you emails requesting your password or asking you to verify your password. If you receive any such emails, please refrain from opening them and forward to help@sfusd.edu.
To further strengthen our security measures, we will no longer accept direct deposit accounts for "Cash App," "Green DOT," or other online banking institutions commonly used by cyber attackers. The District will provide a list of these financial institutions. The District is also researching secure bank card options for those that need to utilize that option to receive pay that will provide safe access to your bank files without compromising your financial information. As SFUSD navigates through these new processes we will soon provide information regarding banking institutions that the District can no longer accept, and more information on bank cards the District chooses to implement by the first of the year.
We believe by implementing these changes, we will not only enhance our financial security but also improve our service delivery to all employees. Your cooperation and understanding during this transition are greatly appreciated. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance with this process, please do not hesitate to contact our Payroll staff for support at (415) 241-6114 ex 1219. Thank you for your attention to this matter and your commitment to the safety of our financial operations.
