Step 4: Troubleshooting Direct Deposit Issues in Walnet

Problem: You Didn’t Get Paid

✅ Check Walnet first:

• Make sure your direct deposit status says “Active”
• Confirm your routing/account numbers are correct
• Look at your latest paystub to see if a check was issued or if funds were deposited
• Ensure your account isn’t still in “Pending” status

If everything looks fine in Walnet, contact your store manager or the Walgreens payroll help desk.

Problem: Deposit Went to the Wrong Account

If your pay went to an old or closed account:

• Contact your bank immediately
• Update your info in Walnet ASAP
• Notify payroll to issue a stop payment or reissue

⏳ It may take 3–5 business days to process corrections, depending on your bank.

Problem: You Want to Switch from Paper Check to Direct Deposit

Just go to Walnet → Pay Preferences → Setup Direct Deposit, and follow the instructions. Once confirmed, paper checks will stop, and deposits will go directly to your chosen bank account.
