Voiding Direct Deposit Paychecks

If you use Direct Deposit and have voided a check in Patriot Software, you may stop the direct deposit depending on the timing of when you void the check(s).

Voiding Before Payroll Deadline

If you void the check before your payroll deadline of 8:00 pm Eastern the night before your collection date, Patriot will not make a collection from your business bank account, and the employee(s) will not get paid.

Voiding After the Payroll Deadline

If you have Standard 4-Day or Expedited timing, and you void a check after your payroll deadline but before 7:00 pm Eastern the day before the pay date, Patriot will refund your collection, and the employee(s) will not get paid.

If you use Prefunding, and you void a check before 7:00 pm Eastern the day before the pay date, Patriot will refund the money back to your prefund balance, and the employee(s) will not get paid.

Voiding After Pay Date

For both Standard and Prefunded, if you void the check after your payroll deadline the day before the pay date, the direct deposit cannot be stopped.  You will need to arrange for repayment or set up an after-tax deduction from the employee’s future paychecks.
