Watch the payroll calendar

Yesterday a payroll customer noticed they were late submitting payroll.

For context, it was Wednesday with payday on Friday. Along with the fact they were approved for two-day processing.

What happened?

Turns out Thursday was a National holiday, meaning the ACH system was not operating. Holidays are treated like any Saturday or Sunday.

So instead of two-day processing, this customer needed next-day processing to make it work. Which we did.

For those of us who run payroll, it's good to watch the calendar.

Happy Juneteenth!
