How Will President’s Day (Monday, February 15, 2010) Affect Payroll Tax Payments and Direct Deposit in QuickBooks Payroll
The Federal Reserve Bank?s observance of the President's Day holiday (Monday, February 15, 2010) may affect your payroll processing cutoff times, including direct deposit.
If your normal paycheck date is on 2/15/10, to ensure timely tax payments and comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act, you should:
- Change your paycheck date to Friday, 2/12/10
- Send your payroll by 5 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, 2/10/10
For other check dates, you might need to send your payroll a day earlier than usual, as described below:
| If you date your paychecks for… | Send payroll by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on… | Your account will be debited on*… | Employees get paid on (Direct Deposit only)… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday, 2/12 | Wednesday, 2/10 | Thursday, 2/11 | Friday, 2/12 |
| Tuesday, 2/16 | Thursday, 2/11 | Friday, 2/12 | Tuesday, 2/16 |
| Wednesday, 2/17 | Friday, 2/12 | Tuesday, 2/16 | Wednesday, 2/17 |
*Accounts are typically debited before regular banking hours, so you should have sufficient available funds in your account the day before the actual debit occurs.
