County finance credits Paycom, ACH push and new vendor for faster posting and easier payments

Presenter (speaker 5) said finance has posted 99.7% of deposits within 48 hours and is meeting performance measures to reduce reconciliation time.

"99.7 percent of all of our deposits are being posted within 48 hours," the finance presenter said, adding that switching to Paycom increased perfect payrolls to about 95% accuracy. Staff also said they exceeded a 30% vendor ACH conversion goal this year and are negotiating software changes to allow multiple ACH payout accounts for legally separate slot accounts.

Finance previewed a contract with a new payment vendor, Forte, that will allow modern payment options (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Text-to-Pay) and perform pre-funding so deposits for a single day arrive as a lump sum, which staff say will materially reduce reconciliation time. The department also reported that FY2026 annual comprehensive financial report and the FY27 budget book (including a 10-year capital plan) will be posted online by year-end.
