Remember to run payroll early!
We wanted to remind you that Monday, January 18, 2021 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (a federal banking holiday). Depending on your payroll schedule, that may mean you need to run payroll one or two business days early to get everyone paid on time.
We've included schedules for different turnaround times below. If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us at 877-328-6505 or hello@onpay.com.
Holiday payroll schedules
Choose a turnaround time listed below. Pay dates that will be affected by this holiday are listed in the Pay Date column. The Submit Date is the pay run deadline for this pay period. This can be on the holiday, if needed. Employer Draft Date is when the funds will be debited from your account. The Employee Credit Date is when employees will see the funds in their account. If the pay date falls on the holiday, then the employee credit date is always the day before. Learn more about how turnaround time is determined.
