Understanding payroll deadlines and how they affect pay dates

What happens if you miss the deadline?

• If a delayed pay date is acceptable you can select a new pay date.

• If the pay date cannot be changed in time:

  • The payment method will switch to manual (cheque or EFT)

  • Clients must issue payments themselves

What if the deadline falls on a statutory holiday?

• The system will automatically adjust the approval deadline to the previous business day

• This ensures direct deposit timelines still align with bank availability

Example: If the deadline is Monday (a holiday), it will move to the previous Friday
