HR/Payroll Question

This is my understanding.  Please let me know if I am wrong or right.

If payday falls on a nonbanking day you must pay your employees the banking day before?

Re: HR/Payroll Question

  • that has always been my understanding. Especially if it is a holiday, or a change in the normal schedule. But that has just been my experience in my own pay, I have never worked in HR or anything like that. HTH!

  • That is how mine has always worked but I'm not in HR to know if that is an official rule.  Whenever a Holiday happened on a pay day we always got paid early.
  • Well H's work gets paid the 1st and the 15th.  They got an email today letting them know direct deposit would not hit until Monday and people with paperchecks wouldn't be available until Monday.  I think this is BS.

    Ever since they went to 1st and 15th everything has been screwed up.  I think they are doing whatever they can to keep the money as long as possible. 

     

  • I have worked in HR/Payroll for quite awhile. My experience has always been that if a holiday or payday falls on a non-work day, paychecks and direct deposits are done the day before. Now, I have always done my payroll with ADP, so I set up the parameters myself and I am not going to screw my employees pay (i need the check too!). 

    Technically, I believe his company should hand out or mail the paperchecks/stubs on say Friday so that people would receive them in the mail on Sat, and all direct deposits would hit accounts as pending Sat but not post completely until banks open back up on Monday morning.  I don't think they should be able to keep everyone's pay an extra day, essentially they are paying everyone LATE on the times that the 1st or 15 hits on a weekend. Very unfair.

    You could always call your local labor board to find out if there is anything you can do to get this changed, ie: are they working outside of the parameters of the law and therefore need to change their policy??

  • It used to be when the 16th (monthly paycheck) fell on a Sat or Sunday we'd get paid on Friday at midnight.  Now we get paid Sunday night at midnight (as it transitions from Sunday to Monday).  Don't know why it changed, but someone said that the university made a bit more interest on the money in the bank so they did it as a money saving option.  Not sure about the legal aspect of it.  I'm working in IL so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
  • Thanks!  like the poster above me, H and his coworkers are convinced they are trying to keep the money longer to make more interest (which is why they think they changed from biweekly in the first place).

    I contacted the department of labor and they said the employer should pay them ON the designated day no matter when it is.  I assume this is implying they need to be paid before if that is not possible.

    I lit a fire under H for them to say something because if they don't and just b9tch to each other it will continue to happen.  They complained and the treasurer sent out an apology, but blamed it on the Accupay system and not her (which my HR person said is BS because she can control the Accupay).

    Obviously, if the 1st is a Saturday than so is the 15th, so we will see what happens.  I am going have H see if there is someone who can touchbase with her about a week before to make sure they will be receiving their pay on time.
