Year end: Direct deposit submission and payroll deadlines

When you run a payroll that includes direct deposit paychecks, keep your eye on submission dates to avoid penalties— especially around the holidays and year end.

To avoid nasty penalties and fees (as well as follow the principle of constructive receipt), be sure that wages dated for 2016 are received in 2016 and wages dated for 2017 are received in 2017.

Direct Deposit Submission Deadline

Wed Dec 28, 2016 (5 pm PT) is the last day you can submit your 2016 direct deposit paychecks. (Employees will be paid on Fri Dec 30, 2016.)

Create direct deposit bonus checks 5 business days prior to the direct deposit deadline date to avoid any delays in processing.
