Fund Payroll by Wire

Overview

If your payroll account is set to 3-day processing, your standard payroll deadline may not allow direct deposits to arrive by your desired payday. In certain situations, Homebase can offer a Fund by Wire option to help expedite direct deposits.

Because funding by wire requires manual steps and precise timing, we recommend reviewing standard payroll options first.

Recommended Options to Try First

Before requesting a wire, consider these built-in alternatives:

• Run payroll using manual payments (cash, paper check, Zelle, Venmo, etc.)

• Choose a later payday that works with standard processing timelines

• Run an off-cycle payroll (if the deadline is before the pay period ends)

• Adjust your pay period or payday settings for future payrolls

If none of these options meet your needs and you require faster direct deposits, funding by wire may be available.

How to Request Payroll Funding by Wire

Step 1: Prepare Your Payroll (Do Not Submit)

1. From your Payroll dashboard, start a payroll run.

2. Select a payday that allows direct deposits, even if it’s later than your intended payday.

3. Review your payroll and make any needed edits.

4. On the final screen, select Save & Exit (top-right corner).

Important: Do not submit the payroll.

Step 2: Contact Homebase Payroll Support

Reach out to Homebase Payroll Support and provide:

• A request to fund your payroll by wire

• The payday you need for employee direct deposits

Payroll Support will provide you the wire instructions.

Step 3: Send the Wire

• Initiate a bank wire with your bank and using the provided instructions

• Do not send a same-day ACH or any other payment type

• Send the exact amount listed in the wire details

Wire Timing Requirements

• Same-day (afternoon) direct deposits: Wire must be received by 12:30 PM ET on payday

• Next-day (morning) direct deposits: Wire must be received by 5:00 PM ET the day before payday

Incorrect amounts or late wires may delay payroll processing.
