Payment Process
Catena Solutions pays its employees weekly*. The standard pay period starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Direct deposit funds are guaranteed by Friday after the week worked. Printed checks are mailed via USPS on Wednesdays to your home address on record.
A direct deposit setup form will be included in your onboarding paperwork from digital-noreply@eStaff365.com.
We strongly recommend that you sign up for direct deposit to ensure prompt payment. After you set up direct deposit, all payment will be directly deposited into your account by Friday, payday.
On your first pay day you will receive an email from noreply@GreenEmployee.com with a link to view your check stub on Greenshades. Complete the following directions as a first time user in order to set up your password:
- It will ask you for a “corporate email,” which is the personal email that Catena Solutions has on file for you. It will also ask for the last 4 digits of your SSN, along with your birth year (####YYYY).

*Standard practice is to pay weekly; however, you will be notified from your recruiter if your assignment pays bi-weekly.
