Administrators in the Country Offices or second UNV Field Unit
Programme Assistant
Description:
The Maintain Bank Accounts process explains the
steps to set up the UN Volunteer’s
bank account details, if the UN Volunteers
elect to have the payments deposited into a
Bank account through bank transfer.
! | If the UN Volunteer elects to have the payments
deposited into a beneficiary bank account through bank transfer and if the
beneficiary bank details are taken from ATLAS HCM, the UN Volunteer must
supply the UNV Field Unit with a completed vendor form with the relevant bank
details. Please remember that only beneficiary bank details can be entered
under the Maintain Bank Accounts page. Intermediary bank details cannot be
entered into ATLAS HCM for UN Volunteers. Please
ensure that the UN Volunteer supplies the UNV Field Unit with the beneficiary
bank details well in advance of the finalization of current month’s payroll. Before paying the last VLA payment through payroll,
please ask the UN Volunteer to confirm the bank details to which s/he wants
his final VLA payroll payment. This is to avoid payments to accounts that are
already closed. The SWIFT address can be
checked on http://www.swift.com/biconline/ and for information on IBAN numbers contact your
bank or check on http://www.ecbs.org/iban-checker.htm |
