Can I set up a payment for a contractor for the same day as a direct deposit?

1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu and select the Contractors tab.
2. Next to the contractor’s name, select the dropdown, and then Pay with direct deposit.
3. Enter the amount for the direct deposit.
4. Select the expense account you use to track paychecks in QuickBooks. 
5. Select Save & Send or Save & New.

thank you for your reply. I did everything you mentioned below however it says it will be paid on 8/24 and the contractor needs her money to be direct deposited today.  

Thank you for your reply.   I did everything you mentioned below however it says the deposit will be done on 8/24 and the contractor needs her money today.  Is it possible to pay this contractor today? 

Thanks for following up with the Community about this, frankfarsad.
 

When paying a contractor, the check date is the day they receive their funds. As with any ACH funding, there's timeframes for money to show up in an account once it's been sent. This process can take three to five business days, but sometimes will complete within two.

If you need to void a contractor's direct deposit and pay them through a different process, reach out to our Customer Care Team for assistance:
1. Click your Help (?) icon.
2. Select Contact Us.

I've included a couple helpful articles about paying contractors in QBO. More information can be found in these resources:
