Direct Deposit Process Date??

So QB Desktop Payroll changed to allowing the process date be the day before payday. So our payday is friday. Instead of processing payroll on Wednesday, we were allowed to process it on Thursday. Now, all of a sudden I am getting charged for processing it late (today is Thursday). I was out of the office yesterday, so I was counting on being able to do it today with no problem. I don't remember getting any notification that QB has gone back to the old way of doing things... What is the problem?

Direct Deposit Process Date??

Hi there, @LizMire,

 

When processing the direct deposit, you'll have to ensure that your payroll should be processed and sent before 5 p.m., Pacific Time, two federal banking days before your paycheck date. 

 

Additionally, if payroll is submitted on a non-banking day, your direct deposit will be drawn from your account the next banking day. Also, banks often close on state holidays. Make sure to double-check with your bank for any state holidays they follow.

 

I also suggest reading this article to learn how to make sure your employees get paid on time when there’s a holiday: How Do Federal Holidays Affect my Direct Deposit?
