      What should I do if I missed the payroll deadline?

      If payroll wasn’t approved before the 4:30 PM EST deadline, there are two options depending on your timing and pay run status.

      Option 1: Change the pay date

      If the payroll hasn’t been finalized, you’ll see a prompt to update the pay date. This allows you to continue using direct deposit.

      To change the pay date:

      1. Go to Payroll > Pay runs

      2. Locate the pay run row

      3. Click Set new pay date

      4. Select a new date and click Save

      The system will adjust the:

      • Pay date

      • Approval deadline (3-4 business days before the new date)

      Option 2: Issue manual payments

      If it’s too late to change the pay date:

      • The payment method will automatically switch to manual

      • You’ll need to issue employee payments by cheque or EFT outside of the system

      To avoid last-minute issues, plan to approve payroll well before the deadline, especially around holidays or weekends.
