Using Direct Deposit in a Payroll

After you have signed up for direct deposit, and your account has been activated, you are now ready to run payrolls to be directly deposited into employee accounts.

You will need to make sure that your employees’ direct deposit information has been entered on their records.  For more information, see Adding Employee Direct Deposit Info in Patriot Software.

When you are on Step 2 of the payroll process, you will see a message that the direct deposit amount will be collected from your bank account.  

Deadlines for Direct Deposit

Your deadline for processing a payroll with direct deposit will be 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, although we recommend not waiting until the last minute, in the event of an unexpected technical delay.

Please read our help article, “Direct Deposit Timing Options” for an explanation of direct deposit timing. Also learn about Prefunded direct deposit in our help article, “Using Prefunded Direct Deposit.”
