It's good to see you here in the Community space, Sam. I can provide information for the payroll core lead period for direct deposit in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
You may have a day or five-day lead time for the period time for Payroll Core.
With a one-day lead time, you can submit your payroll before 5:00 PM PST one business day before payday. This allows you to void or add paychecks up to 4:59 PM OST that day. After 5:00 PM, payroll begins processing and can't be stopped.
On the other hand, a five-day lead time means you can submit your payroll before 5:00 PM PST, five business days before payday. If the payday falls on a Friday, submit your payroll before payday.
Once the payroll is submitted, the money will be withdrawn from your account. Then, your employees will receive their payment on payday.
After running your payroll, you can also check your payroll reports to review your liabilities in QuickBooks before paying your taxes.
If there's anything else I can do to help you with your payroll in QBO, please don't hesitate to comment down below.
