Hi @sierrachem-aol-c,
I have some information about how federal holidays affect payroll processing. Direct Deposit services have a 2-day lead time. You need to submit the payroll by 5:00 PM PST 2 business days before payday.
Since December 24 is now a federal holiday, your employees will see the money on Monday, December 28. Learn more about how federal holidays affect your direct deposit at this link here.
You can also check out these handy articles for additional reference.
In case you need help with other payroll tasks, click this link to go to our general topic with articles.
I'll be around if you still have questions or concerns about the program. Just drop them in the reply section below and I'll be happy to answer them for you. Take care and happy holidays.
