How to Change the Payroll Pay Day
From the Payroll Settings window, you can make a one-time pay date adjustment to an individual payroll for situations like holidays, office closures, or other temporary scheduling changes.
Changing the pay day in payroll settings only updates the selected payroll run and does not permanently change the company pay schedule.
Steps:
Open the payroll run you want to process.
Select View payroll.
In the payroll screen, click the Settings icon.
Locate the Payday field.
Click the calendar icon or manually enter the new pay date.
Select the appropriate payroll date.
Click Save to apply the changes.
Important Notes
The selected pay date determines when employees receive payment.
Same-day pay dates may only be available when all payments are issued manually (such as ACH, Zelle, Cash, or Paper Checks).
If direct deposit is enabled, ensure the selected pay date allows enough processing time to meet banking requirements.
The funding bank account displayed in the settings window will be used for the payroll debit.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you cannot select a pay date, verify that the date falls within the allowed payroll processing timeline.
If the Save button is unavailable, confirm that a valid pay date has been selected.
For direct deposit payrolls, some dates may be restricted due to banking cutoff times or holidays.
