Is the payroll cutoff date still the same with semi-monthly payroll?

Yes, the payroll cutoff of the 11th of the month, 11:59PM UTC remains the same for both monthly and semi-monthly payroll. 

We have an exception to this in Bulgaria, Germany and countries where we run a semi-monthly payroll. The payroll cutoff date in Bulgaria is the 1st of the month and not 11th while the payroll cutoff in Germany is different each month.
