How will Veterans Day (Thursday, November 11, 2010) affect my payroll tax payments and direct deposit?
To allow for the Veterans Day holiday, you might need to send payroll a day earlier than usual. Doing so will help you to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act and ensure timely payroll tax payments.
If your normal paycheck date is on 11/11/10, you should:
- Change your paycheck date for your direct deposit employees to Wednesday, 11/10/10.
- Send your payroll by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, 11/8/10.
If your paycheck date is immediately before or after Veterans Day, consult the table that follows to find out when to send your payroll and when your account will be debited.
| 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)… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday, 11/10 | Monday, 11/8 | Tuesday, 11/9 | Wednesday, 11/10 |
| Thursday, 11/11 | (see message above) | ||
| Friday, 11/12 | Tuesday, 11/9 | Wednesday, 11/10 | Friday, 11/12 |
| Monday, 11/15 | Wednesday, 11/10 | Friday, 11/12 | Monday, 11/15 |
*Accounts are typically debited before regular banking hours, so you should make sure you have funds in your account to cover the payroll onthe day before the actual debit occurs.
