The deadline for approving payroll is 5:00 PM EST (EST, MST, CST clients) or 4:45 PM PST (PST clients) on the business day prior to your check date.

Direct deposit/delivery unfortunately cannot be guaranteed after that deadline.

You will be debited for payroll and taxes up to 2 business days prior to check date depending on process time and if you have direct deposit activated on your account.

When you click "Approve" to process your payroll, please ensure the funds are available for debiting from your account!

Processing fee invoicing

Your invoice for ADP's fee will generate the Monday after you process payroll and will be debited the following Friday.

Billing invoices are located within RUN under Reports > Misc. Reports > Billing Invoices.

Check out "Help & Support" at the top right hand corner of the RUN Powered by ADP ® (RUN) homepage!

This will have some great information for you as you onboard to ADP.
