What to do to Pay employees on time using QuickBooks Direct Deposit?
Here, we’re going to show you how you can pay your employees on time with the help of a Direct Deposit. First, you have to understand when you need to submit your payroll and also learn about the lead time of the QuickBooks Payroll service.
Before Proceeding further there are two terms that you need to understand
- Lead Time: Sometimes, peoples also prefer this as Funding time. It is the time between the day you submit the payroll and the day the employee received the payment through direct deposit,
- Payroll Submission Date: As the name suggests it is the day on which you submit your payroll. This date will determine the lead time of your direct deposit.
Both the lead time and payroll submission date are the terms that we are going to mention a few times while we discuss Direct Deposit Post therefore it is important to understand both.
Let’s have a look at the things that you need to do to pay employees on time with various QuickBooks Payroll versions:
QuickBooks Desktop Payroll and Intuit Online Payroll
Both of these services have a lead time of 2 days. Then according to this, the payroll submission date will be 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time 2 business days before the payday.
Even after submitting the payroll, you can still void or add paychecks up to 04:59 PM Pacific Standaer time that day. The payroll processing begins after 5:00 PM and after that, you cannot stop it.
QuickBooks Online Payroll Enhanced and QuickBooks Online Payroll Core
In these QuickBooks Payroll services, you’ll get a lead time of 1 day and 5 days.
For 1 Day Lead Time
If you are using direct deposit with 1 Day lead time then it means that you need to submit your payroll by 5:00 PM PST 1 day before the payday.
For 5 Days Lead Time
If you are using direct deposit with 5 day lead time then it means that you need to submit your payroll by 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time 5 days before the payday. For example, if your payday is on Tuesday then you need to submit the payroll on Tuesday before payday.
Your money will deduct from your bank account as soon as you submit the payroll in QuickBooks. But the employees will get the amount on payday.
QuickBooks Online Payroll (All other Versions)
The products that offer both same-day direct deposit as well as 5-day lead time Direct Deposit are QuickBooks Online Payroll Full Service, QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium, and QuickBooks Online Payroll Elite.
Same Day Direct Deposit
There are two different ways for same-day Direct Deposit.
The first is to submit the Payroll before 7:00 AM on the payday or you can submit the payroll before 5:00 PM a day before the payday.
In case, you submit the payroll before 7:00 AM on the payday then the money will be deducted from your account on the same day and your employees will be able to see them in their account by 5:00 PM(According to the employee’s bank timezone) on the same day.
If you had mistakenly submitted a wrong payroll then you can still void or add a new paycheck before 6:59 AM PST on that day. The processing of payroll begins after 7:00 and after you won’t be able to stop it.
If you choose to submit payroll before 5:00 PM PST a day before the payday then Intuit QuickBooks will start processing and then deduct the payroll amount on the submission date but your employees can see the money in their account on the payday.
After you submitted the payroll before 5:00 PM but later you found out that amount on the paycheck was wrong then you can void or add a new paycheck until 4:59 PM. The payroll processing starts after 5:00 PM and you won’t be able to do anything after that.
5 Days Lead Time
If you want to choose this option then you need to submit the payroll before 5:00 PM PST 5 business days before the actual payday. For example, if the payday is on Friday, then the payroll submission day will be Friday before payday.
The money will be deducted from the account on the same day as the payroll submission date. The employees will be able to see money in their bank account only on payday. So make sure, you have sufficient funds in your bank account on the day you are submitting the payroll.
NOTE: Also keep in mind that, Intuit won’t process any payroll on the weekends and on state or federal holidays, so plan the payroll submission date accordingly.
