The Problem: Updating Direct Deposit on Direct2HR

Several Albertsons Safeway employees have reported facing difficulties when trying to change or modify their direct deposit allocations through the Direct2HR portal. Some of the common issues include:

The Solution: Accessing Direct2HR Through myACI Legacy Tile
