When would you expect payroll cut off to be?

[Bluemig]

If paid on the 18th of the month?

Last day of the previous month?

Probably around the 8th

i use a payroll company for a carer and cutoff is generally 2-3 days before pay date.

Depends size of company, but not later than 3rd.

im paid 31st etc and cut of is around the 11th

About 2 weeks before.

At my company, payday is the last working days of the month. Payroll runs it all through around 21st/22nd (to give them time to post out the payslips) but you need to have sent figures to them by 15th. So in your case, I'd guess last day of previous month.

Depends on the company. 10 days is plenty. 1 week prior would be standard.

There are plenty of parts of payroll that are standard and can be done in advance (we’re getting paid on Friday and I set up all of my standard items yesterday plus added the extra bits I had). Cut off was yesterday but as pay is important I will add anything reasonable I get until end of the day Monday.

People pretend payroll is some dark art - it really isn’t.

Ours seems to be really early, but I suspect that's something to do with our Admin, rather than Payroll.

We are paid on the 15th. The money has to be with the payroll provider 3 working days before so that they can set up the BACS.

Overtime is up until the last Sunday of the previous month. Cut off for standing data changes (things like pension contribution % or a pay rise) is around 6th. Cut off for one off items like unpaid leave or a bonus is around 9th.

Ours is crazy early.
For pay at the end of June, we had to have stuff in before 25 MAY!
I'd say 7-10 days is more typical tho, judging from other places I've worked.

I think it depends on what the company decides. X

We pay our staff on the last working thursday of the month. Cut off is the Friday beforehand.

I’m paid last working day of the month and payroll cut off is generally around 12th - huge company though (not sure if that makes a difference)

Our cut-off is 20th of the month to be paid on 28th of the month.

Our cut off is the day before pay processing which is every 4th Friday, pay is then sent out every Monday. It's a nightmare and is most certainly akin to dark arts.

Anywhere between 2 days before and a fortnight before hand. Ime.

@BrylcreamBeret

Why? What’s so complicated? Do you have lots of tricky allowances etc to manage?

I get paid every 4th Friday, the cut off is the Saturday before.

Would depend hugely on size of company and variety of input/manual intervention. You have to remember it's not just about you it's about what needs doing for every other employee too and they have to be consistent.

We are paid on the 27th. Payroll cutoff is usually the end of the previous month except for calendar and fiscal year end (end June) where it is earlier.

Large multinational.

@Blanketpolicy

So your company would expect someone starting on, say, 2nd of the month, to work 2 months with no wages?

I used to do payroll for a small company and allowed changes right up to when the bank payment was set up two days before hand.

In this situation wouldn’t the person already be set up on the pay roll as a new starter? Then the manager would confirm they started as expected and they would be paid from the 2nd.

That’s how it would work in my organisation (large public sector)

Around the 1st of the same month
