Key Processing Information & Deadlines
Payroll Processing Cutoff Time:
The deadline for submitting payroll is 12pm EST two business days prior to pay day. For example, payroll must be submitted no later than noon on Wednesday for Friday pay day. Payrolls submitted after this deadline will be pushed to the next business day.
Payroll Debit:
Paper Trails will debit the full amount of your payroll, including all wages and taxes, from your business checking account one business day before pay day. For example, if your pay day is Friday, funds will be withdrawn from your account on Thursday morning. When you submit payroll to us, please ensure that funds are available in your account to avoid bounce fees and employee direct deposit issues!
