Remember to run payroll early!
We wanted to remind you that Monday, February 19, 2024 is Presidents' 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
How early you need to submit payroll depends on your payroll turnaround time. If the holiday falls between any of the four stages in the table below, it can interfere with your workers getting paid on-time.
| Pay Date | Submit Date* | Employer Draft Date | Employee Credit Date |
|
Pay dates affected by this holiday are listed in this column. Check for dates that coincide with employee payday(s). |
Submit payroll by 11:30 PM* on this date. **Running payroll on a bank holiday will not affect the employee payday. |
Payroll funds will be debited from your account on this date. This is typically the first business day following the submit date. |
Employees will see the funds in their account on this date. If the pay date falls on the holiday, then the employee credit date is always the business day before. |
