Alderman Caron
That was my question to you. Even in this day and age, there are some people who don’t have computers or
don’t use so how would you get their checks to them even though they might have direct deposit? Would you
send them something different?
Bruce Codagnone
If they don’t have an e-mail, or a computer, or things like that, they can still print those. There’s a process of
opting in or opting out. You would have those particular people opt into the printing process as opposed to the
others where you're kind of forcing opt out.
Alderman Caron
Okay. Thank you.
Alderman Cookson
In current today, how many people have direct deposit versus a printable paystub?
Bruce Codagnone
| don’t have an exact count but it’s about 98 percent direct deposit. There’s only a handful of people that get a
live check. There are some people who get a live check and direct deposit but | don’t have those exact
numbers.
Alderman Cookson
So still it’s a small population. It's a small subset. Okay. Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Anything else? If there’s nothing else, the motion is to approve the contract.
