QuickBooks Online processes direct deposit paychecks based on the lead time and the payroll submission date, Roach1.

Once payroll is submitted on time, your financial institution has until midnight to deposit the paycheck into your account. For example, you uses Same-day lead time, you need to submit the payroll before 7:00 AM PT on Friday for the funds to be deposited later that day.

If payroll is submitted after this cutoff time, the funds will be deposited on the next banking day. For more information on direct deposit funding times and submission deadlines, you can refer to this article: When to send your direct deposit payroll.

Same problem here. Payroll was submitted on time, but has not been withdrawn from our business account nor deposited to our employees. What's going on? My employees are panicking.

When payroll is submitted promptly, your bank has until midnight to transfer the paycheck to your account.

If payroll is submitted after the specified cutoff time, the deposit will occur on the next business day.
