Thanksgiving Day holiday payroll schedule

ADP would like to remind you that Thanksgiving Day, Thursday Nov. 25, 2021 is a bank holiday. The Federal Reserve and ADP will be closed. 

To ensure timely employee direct deposits we recommend you accept and approve your payroll 72 business hours prior to pay date and no later than 2:30pm Eastern Time / 11:30am Pacific Time. Payrolls processed less than 48 hours prior to pay date could experience late funding of employee direct deposits and tax deposits, and a delay in the delivery of your payroll package.

In order to prevent a delay in the posting of the direct deposit transactions to your employees' accounts, it is very important that you review your payroll processing schedule prior to submitting your payroll.  Consider your current processing date and pay date to determine if a change is necessary to account for the bank holiday. 

Use this chart as a guide to determine if a payroll schedule change is necessary. Please note if you are a wire client or over threshold client, you will need to check with your bank for their wire cut-off times. To ensure timely employee direct deposits, ADP must have funds by Noon (local time) 3 days prior to check date.

Note: Electronic transactions received with a pay date of 11/25/2021 may not be deposited until 11/26/2021, depending upon the individual’s depository institution, and expect to be debited 1 day earlier than usual.
