When would you expect payroll cut off to be?

[Bluemig]

If paid on the 18th of the month?

Paid last day of the month. Cut off is 10th

I wouldnt have an expecation as that's not how t works, the employer says when it is, I'd just ask the question

It depends entirely on the size of the company, complexity of their payroll, if it's managed internally or externally for example.
I do an couple of small payrolls for clients and I could put through a change on the morning of payday technically, if I happened to be working, if the people who needed to review it happened to be around (which they might be). I would absolutely not be willing to guarantee that would be possible though, it would be a goodwill thing only.
For a larger company it would need to be in at least two weeks before. There needs to be quite a lot of back and forth in the review and there are a lot of employees to take account of. If there's an outsourced company involved their deadlines must be met too as they will also have their other clients to look after.

Ours is 10 days before pay day.

Payday is last working day of month.
Deadline for changes is seven working days before that.
Medium sized multi-national with fairly complex payrolls.

I get paid on the last day of the month, and the cut off is 6th

Ours is 4th of the month for 27th pay day.

I would hope so but there was a thread on here a while ago where someone had to go 2 months before being paid. It’s utterly insane.

It varies. We work with a third party and everything has to be fully confirmed with them 10 days before pay date in order for all the banking stuff to be sorted.

There are internal and external checks that must take place, so input needs to be complete 5 working days before that

Whatever the company says it is.

Depends on the size of the company

I do payroll at work and run it 2-3 days before payday. We pay on the last working day of the month so it depends where it falls (eg, if it’s a Monday, I’ll run it on the Friday). I used to do it the day before until all our systems went down and we were screwed.

We’re only 15 staff though so pretty easy.

We also average out hours into 12 monthly payments so I only have to check clock cards for overtime/unpaid leave/sickness.

The changes that @transformandriseup refers to are different to 'cut off'. Each company is different. If you have lots of employees with different shifts, different hours, then timesheet 'cut off' may be say the 23rd or 25th of the month, for payroll to get payroll processed, then changes made / errors corrected, and the bank payment set up for say they last working day of the month.

about 7 to 10 days before payday
