I submitted direct deposit payroll today but need to cancel.

You can cancel the direct deposit while it remains unprocessed, kathy173. I'll go over the specifics below.

Please know that the ability to withdraw a direct deposit payroll depends on its current processing status and funding time. Given that you just submitted today, follow these steps to delete it if the paycheque has not yet been processed:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
2. Locate the employee, then click Paycheque List.
3. Find the cheque you wish to cancel and click Delete.
4. When prompted, select Yes to confirm the action.

Alternatively, consider establishing an agreement with your employee for returning the funds.

If you miss the deadline, the transaction is irreversible because the funds are already sent. To successfully cancel beforehand, note the following processing guidelines:

• Next-day model: 5:00 PM Pacific time the day before payday
• 2-day model: 5:00 PM Pacific time at least two business days before payday
• 5-day model: 5:00 PM Pacific time at least five business days before payday 

Speaking of direct deposit, you can also temporarily turn off this pay method.
