Direct deposit

QuickBooks submits direct deposits two banking days before payday, so for 8/29 the payroll should have been sent by 8/27 at 5pm PT. If it was approved later than that, it’ll miss the window and get pushed to the next business day.

The other thing to check is whether 8/29 fell into a bank holiday cycle (sometimes even regional holidays can delay credits). Also, worth confirming the payroll wasn’t flagged for review, occasionally an update to employee bank info or a higher-than-usual run will trigger a hold.
