How do I pay my employee the same week they work?

How is payroll processed at Poppins Payroll?

At Poppins Payroll, payroll is paid in arrears. This means your employee will be paid generally a week (for weekly and bi-weekly) after the end of a pay period. This will always be the case for direct deposit to allow enough time for payroll revisions and the transfer of funds.

How do I pay my employee early?

Some employees would prefer to be paid prior to the Poppins payday. We are happy to help support that option. This option can only be supported if your employee is being paid via employer check. This flexibility will not work with employees who are paid via direct deposit due to the bank processing timeframes.

Steps:

  1. Verify your employee is being paid via Employer Check.
  2. On the final day of the pay period and once you have made your final payroll edits, you will be able to write an employer check for the net amount. You will still always have until 2 days after a pay period ends to make any adjustments.
  3. You are now able to pay your employee via employer check!

Note: Your employee will still receive their paystub on the payday listed in the system. The paystub cannot be sent out early.

Example:

Pay period starting 2022-01-01

Pay period ending 2022-01-07

Paid on 2022-01-14

In the above example of a weekly payroll, you would have until 2022-01-09 at midnight to submit final payroll adjustments. If you are paying via employer check, you could pay your employee early on 2022-01-07 as long as you have made your final payroll edits first. Your employee would still receive their paystub on 2022-01-14.
