Deadlines
and Important Dates
All payroll clients have consistent deadlines that
align with NACHA (banking) regulations that are consistent across the country.
Remember that once payroll is submitted, processing will begin immediately and
can’t be reversed without a void transaction.
Payroll Submission Deadlines
There are
different submission deadlines depending on how your employees are paid. These
dates are broken out into two main types, which include Payrolls with Direct
Deposit and Payrolls without Direct Deposit. Remember all deadlines are based
on banking days, so weekends and holidays don’t count as banking days.
For Payrolls with Direct Deposit, we ask for three
banking days lead to process your payroll and require two banking days lead as
the absolute cutoff. This means that if your payroll date is a Friday, we ask
that you submit your payroll by Tuesday. If this is not possible, we must have
your payroll submitted by Wednesday with a specific time provided by your
specialist.
For Payrolls without Direct Deposit, we can run your
payroll up to the day of payroll. Remember to factor in shipping times for any
paper checks!
Cutoff Time to
Submit Payroll on Submission Day
The cutoff time
on your submission day will be provided by your specialist. If you have any
concern with that time, you can reach out. Many factors go into the cutoff time
such as submitting your own payroll, size of payroll, and complexity. We are
partners with our clients on this and will find something agreeable for
everyone.
