To make sure your employees are getting paid on time, you'll want to understand when to send payroll based on the direct deposit lead time you go by. Your lead time depends on which payroll product you're using.
With Payroll Core, you can enjoy Same-day or Next-day direct deposit. In some instances, you might be on a 5-day lead time.
Here's how to confirm your lead time:
- Use the Gear icon.
- Go to Payroll settings.
- Scroll to your Direct deposit section.
- Review the funding time above your direct deposit limits.
Now that you know the lead time you're working with, here's some examples of direct deposit submission for a Wednesday and Friday payday. You'll want to be aware that direct deposits are processed only on banking days.

When you're ready to pay your employees, be sure you have sufficient funds in the account to cover your payroll on the day it's submitted. Also keep in mind, Intuit doesn't process payroll on weekends, or state/federal holidays.
You can learn more about working with direct deposits by reviewing our When to send your direct deposit payroll article.
If there's any questions, I'm just a post away. Have a great Thursday!
