Currently our payroll department handles all ACH entries. A new account does't pre-note until the next payroll is run, and the employee gets a printed check that payroll. 
Then their second check goes ACH. The organization wants to use ESS Direct Deposit but also avoid printed checks. So the pre-note process is now up for discussion and
they want to know what best practice is with Lawson payroll.  We have discussed cutting off ESS access to Direct Deposit on Thursday afternoons and sending a pre-note file to the bank thursday
evening so that it would be back by Monday morning for review prior to payroll processing on Tuesday, which should then allow ACH on that payroll. Can anyone share how their organization handles pre-noting?

Did you ever find a solution for this? We are having the same issue. We prenote in advance and don't want the first payment to be a check.

We changed our process. We run the PR160 a few days before the payroll as prenotification only. Then they go ACH for the "real" payroll.

That is a great idea!
