Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the business day we receive your deposit. At that time, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, federal holidays, and such other holidays we may observe, as may be published on our website or posted in our lobby from time to time. DATCU observes all federal holidays in addition to Good Friday and Christmas Eve. If you make a deposit before 6:00 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that to be the day of your deposit. However, if a deposit is made after 6:00 p.m. on a business day or on a day we are not open, the deposit will be considered made on the next business day we are open. Please remember that even after we have made the funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit. •CASHIER'S CHECKS •CASH •CERTIFIED CHECKS •STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHECKS •TELLER’S CHECKS •CHECKS DRAWN ON DATCU •TRAVELER'S CHECKS •US TREASURY CHECKS •U.S. POSTAL MONEY ORDERS •WIRE TRANSFERS/ AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH) •FEDERAL RESERVE AND FEDERAL HOME LOAN CHECKS *To receive immediate credit for a check type listed above, the check must be payable to you and deposited into a transaction account of yours.

(c) If an employee becomes disabled, including WSIB, with the result that she is unable to perform the regular functions of her position, the Employer may determine a special classification and salary, with the hope of providing an opportunity for continued employment. Positions established under this article will not constitute new classifications and shall lapse upon the termination, resignation, or retirement of the employee in question.
(d) Prior to any disabled employee returning to work from a disability including WSIB to a modified/light/alternate work program, the Employer will notify and meet with members of the bargaining unit executive to consult on a back to work program for the worker. Any agreement resulting from these discussions which conflicts with the collective agreement shall, subject to agreement by the Union, prevail over any provision of this agreement in the event of a conflict.
