When is the payroll cutoff?

The payroll cutoff is the deadline for submitting changes, such as new hires, approved expenses, incentives, or overtime, to ensure they are included in that month's payroll. Commissions or expenses cannot be processed after the payroll cutoff date. Any incentive or expense approved after the payroll cutoff is considered outside the current month's payroll and falls under our rejection criteria for off-cycle payments.
