Can a district have two different banks accounts tied to specific remittance dates?
In Gemini, you will not be entering a remittance date for contribution payments to TRS. TRS will process payments on a daily basis. Gemini will allow each employer to have as many bank accounts needed to remit payments to TRS. When making payments through Gemini, you can split the payment up by indicating how much should be paid from each bank account.
