What time does payroll need to be processed by for direct deposit

Hi qbonline-lekadir,

Welcome to Community!  Ensuring that you submit your payroll on time, guarantees direct deposit for your employees as scheduled.  QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great way to pay your staff with confidence.  I'll be happy to provide the information you need so you're on track with your payroll goals!

When paying your staff with direct deposit, you need to submit payroll by 5pm PT at least two banking days before the pay date.  If you submit after the cutoff time, it will be processed on the next banking day and paid two banking days after that.  Here's a helpful guide for your reference.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out.  We'd be glad to assist!
