If you choose to control the remittance process for sending funds to MERIT each pay period, there are two methods to accomplish this. Select the method you plan to use and note the remittance instructions.
Paper Check
ACH Push (very uncommon)
In both cases, you are responsible for remitting payment as soon as you process payroll deductions and upload contributions to the MERIT portal. Employee retirement accounts will only be credited with their contributions after funds are received from you.

Once you've set up your contribution funding, press the Save & Continue button and move on to add employees.
