Using Autopayroll

Automatic Submission Process

When Autopayroll is turned on, regular payrolls are submitted at 1 PM EST by default. However, you can choose an alternative time from the following options in your Autopayroll settings:

• 1:00PM EST
• 2:00PM EST
• 3:00PM EST
• 4:00PM EST
• 5:00PM EST
• 6:00PM EST

Note: Remember that you are still responsible for reviewing timecards before the automatic submission to ensure accuracy.

Bank Account and Pay Schedule

Autopayroll will not impact your pay schedule or the bank account you use for payroll funding

Adding Additional Earnings Before Automatic Submission

If you need to add additional earnings before the automatic submission (that happens at 1PM EST) follow these steps:

1. Open your payroll as usual.
2. Add the necessary earnings.
3. Save and exit without submitting.

The changes made before the automatic submission will be included in the payroll.

Reminder & Confirmation Email

If your company has Autopayroll enabled, you'll receive a reminder email before each payroll submission. That email now includes your pay period dates, your upcoming payday, and a summary of any timecards that need attention before payroll runs.

After the automatic submission at your scheduled time (1PM EST by default), you will receive an email confirming the details of your payroll, including the amounts debited from your account and paid to your team members.

Making Changes After Automatic Submission

If you need to make changes after the automatic submission, follow these guidelines:

1. Reopen the payroll within 60 minutes of your auto-submission.
2. Make the necessary adjustments.
3. Note that the current payroll will no longer be automatically submitted; you must submit it manually until the regular deadline (7PM EST).

Handling Non-Sufficient Funds

If you have a payroll with unresolved non-sufficient funds and your account is blocked for new payrolls, any future automatic submissions will be put on hold. Once you resolve the issue, future payrolls will resume automatic processing.
