Direct deposit

My pay dates are set for Friday. The last 2 payrolls the employees received their checks on Thursday.

QB said it was the bank. I called the bank and they said it was QB

Let me help you sort this out, Proto123.

 

Your employees will get paid based on when you submitted the direct deposit payroll, not on the pay date. These are the different funding times in QuickBooks Payroll:

 

  • Same-day: Workers are paid the same day you send your payroll to us.
  • Next-day: Workers are paid the next banking day after you send your payroll to us.
  • 2-day: Workers are paid two banking days after you send your payroll to us.
  • 5-day: Workers are paid five banking days after you send your payroll to us.

 

We can take a look at the details in the following articles below. These will provide us with more information about how to handle an employee's direct deposit as well as its lead time:

 

Pay your employees on time.

Employee did not receive direct deposit created in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

If you have more additional direct deposit questions, please let me know. I'll be around to help, Proto123.

I have Desktop Enhanced payroll.  I just finished - it is 3:00 CST on Wednesday 3/15/23.  My payroll is for Friday 3/17/2023.  QB keeps telling me it is too late to send the direct deposits - I need two banking days lead time.  5 pm PST is not for another 14 HOURS!!! There is not a banking holiday.

 

What is going on???

Hi there, BlondBookkeeperNM. 

 

I'll share some insights about sending direct deposit payroll in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll

 

That's correct. When sending direct deposit payroll with a Friday pay date, you must send it by Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT. You also have to consider the Federal holidays that may affect your direct deposits.


There's a possibility that you've set an incorrect paycheck date which explains why you're receiving this message. Before sending the direct deposit payroll data, I recommend that you review the payroll information and, if necessary, update the paycheck date you've set.

 

Once everything is set up correctly, you can now send the payroll data to Intuit.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Go to  Employees, then Send Payroll Data.
  2. In the Send/Receive Payroll Data window, click View in the Items to Send section to review the following info:
    • The paychecks to be processed.
    • Direct Deposit amounts.
    • The funds to be withdrawn from your account.
  3. Select Close to close the View items window.
  4. Click Send All. Enter your Payroll Service/Direct Deposit PIN then OK. 
  5. Once done, you’ll return to the Send/Receive Data window. Under Items Received, select View to view important payroll messages or confirmation reports.
  6. Hit Close to close the Send/Receive Data window.
