Welcome to the Community, a-foltz.
Payroll may be one of the most important aspects of running a business. I want to make sure you're able to process yours without a hitch.
Making sure you're employees payroll checks get processed in time depends on the lead times. For QuickBooks Online Payroll lead times include: same-day, next-day (1-day), 2-day, and 5-day.
For example, if you're using the same-day lead time payroll would need to be submitted Friday before 7 AM PT. Or for next-day, payroll would need to be submitted Thursday before 5 PM PT. The following article provides additional info about paying your employees on time.
