Miss a payroll deadline?

With Webtimeclock, every new payroll account gets a three-day processing period, which can be upgraded to two-day at any time.

Why three business days?

It's really about the ACH system.

Three days gives plenty of time for payroll funding amounts to be debited, validated, then dispersed to each employee on payday morning.

For example, if payday is Friday, your deadline is Tuesday.

It's safer... If for some reason your funding defaults, you have time to fix it.

If you prefer two-day or next-day, you can do that too. Just know it requires proof you can fund your payrolls.

But... What if you miss a deadline?

Below are three options. If you don't use Webtimeclock, your payroll provider should offer similar ways.

Wire transfer

As long as you wire funds before 2 PM pacific the day before payday, employees will receive their pay on time.

You could wire before 2 PM on payday too, just know employees will not be paid until that evening at the earliest.

Off-cycle payroll

Instead of paying employees through ACH, you could hand out paper paychecks.

By running an off-cycle payroll, the actual payday might be a few days later, but employees could get paper checks right away. ACH will still handle your tax payments.

If employees prefer ACH, explain that they will have to wait.

Next-day payroll

If you are approved for two-day processing, you are automatically eligible for next-day payroll (at an extra cost of $2/employee).

As long as you submit payroll by 5 PM pacific the day before payday, employees will be paid on time.
