FAQ

When is the latest time I can submit my payroll?
 

We would like your payroll two business days before the check date, preferably before 2 PM. If submitted after that time, we will try our best to get everything done and out on time; however, we can't guarantee anything after that will make the direct deposit or delivery schedule cutoff.
