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. 

Note: An exception in the cutoff is made for Bulgaria, Germany, and countries where we have a semi-monthly payroll. In Bulgaria, the payroll cutoff date is on the 1st of the month, different from the usual 11th, while the payroll cutoff in Germany varies from month to month.
