Option 1: Change the pay date
If the payroll hasn’t been finalized, you’ll see a prompt to update the pay date. This allows you to continue using direct deposit.
To change the pay date:
Go to Payroll > Pay runs
Locate the pay run row
Click Set new pay date
Select a new date and click Save
The system will adjust the:
Pay date
Approval deadline (3-4 business days before the new date)
Option 2: Issue manual payments
If it’s too late to change the pay date:
The payment method will automatically switch to manual
You’ll need to issue employee payments by cheque or EFT outside of the system
💡 To avoid last-minute issues, plan to approve payroll well before the deadline, especially around holidays or weekends.
