Moving a Pay Day

We are looking at moving our Wednesday Pay Day to Friday.  This will help avoid all those Monday Holidays creating pay issues.  Does anyone have any experience with this that would be the least disruptive plan for the employees?

Moving a Pay Day

Hello there, @jhodges1204.

 

Thank you for posting in the Community. Allow me to help share some information about how holidays affect you in processing payroll.

 

When you transmit your payroll 2 banking days prior to the paycheck date, direct deposits are made available to your employee's receiving bank as of 5 pm PT on the paycheck date. If the paycheck date lands on a banking holiday, you have the option to adjust the paycheck date earlier than usual or after the holiday.

 

So if you want employees to receive their pay on Friday, you can send payroll by Wednesday before 5:00 pm PT. Please make sure that your check date is for Friday. 

 

The following article contains additional information about this:
