If an expense or incentive was not inputted before the payroll cutoff, will it still be included on the invoice for that month?

This article explains how the global payroll cutoff date affects the invoicing and payout of expenses and incentives. This information is intended for customers.

Understanding the cutoff logic

The timing of when an employer adds an expense or incentive determines which invoice it appears on and when the employee receives payment.

Added before the cutoff

If the employer approves or adds an expense or incentive before the global payroll cutoff (typically the 11th of the month at 11:59 PM UTC):

• Invoice: It is included in the Reconciliation invoice (invoice #2) for the current month.

• Payout: It is processed and paid to the employee in the current month’s payroll.

Added after the cutoff

If the employer adds an expense or incentive after the global payroll cutoff:

• Invoice: It is included in the Pre-funding invoice (invoice #1) for the following month.

• Payout: It is processed and paid to the employee in the following month’s payroll.

Example scenario

An employer submits a wellness allowance (an incentive) for an employee on September 20, 2025.

Because this date is after the September 11th payroll cutoff:

1. Remote will not process this in the September payroll run.

2. The cost will appear on the Pre-funding invoice for October.

3. The employee will receive the payment in the October payroll.
