News Flash – How will Memorial Day (Monday, May 27, 2013) affect my QuickBooks payroll processing?

Published 05/17/2013 | By Ruth Perryman

To allow for the Memorial 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 5/27/13, you should:

  1. Change your paycheck date for your direct deposit employees to Friday, 5/24/13.
  2. Send your payroll:
    • Do-It-Yourself Payroll (Enhanced, Basic, Standard) and Assisted Payroll – by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, 5/22/13.
    • Intuit Online Payroll and QuickBooks Online Payroll - by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, 5/22/13.
    • Intuit Full Service Payroll (IFSP) - by 3 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, 5/22/13.

 

If your paycheck date is immediately before or after Memorial 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… Your account will be debited on*… Employees get paid on (Direct Deposit only)…
Friday, 5/24 Wednesday, 5/22 Thursday, 5/23 Friday, 5/24
Monday, 5/27 (see message above)
Tuesday, 5/28 Thursday, 5/23 Friday, 5/24 Tuesday, 5/28
Wednesday, 5/29 Friday, 5/24 Tuesday, 5/28 Wednesday, 5/29
Thursday, 5/30 Tuesday, 5/28 Wednesday, 5/29 Thursday, 5/30

*Accounts are typically debited before regular banking hours, so you should make sure you have funds in your account to cover the payroll on the day before the actual debit occurs.
