An employer may deliver money withheld to the State Controller by check or electronic transfer of money.

(b)

If an employer receives notices to withhold income pursuant to NRS 353C.171 for more than one employee, the employer may consolidate the amounts of money that are payable to the State Controller and pay those amounts with one check, but the employer shall attach to each check a statement identifying by name and social security number each person for whom payment is made and the amount transmitted for that person.

3.

If the provisions of NRS 353.1467 apply, the employer shall make payment to the State Controller by any method of electronic transfer of money allowed by the State Controller.
