Delaying payroll payments provides organizations with additional time to review and edit timesheets after the pay period ends, enabling staggered approvals and the consolidation of all employees into a single, streamlined payroll run.

How to delay payroll payments

To delay payments, follow this guide:

Navigate to Settings > All settings.

Next, click the Payments option from the Members section.

Add the number of days to delay, then hit Save.

When will payments be made after adding a delay?

Hubstaff has 4 pay periods:

Weekly:

Organizations run pay periods from Monday to Sunday (or based on their selected start day). For example, if you add a 3-day delay, you will issue payments on the following Wednesday after the pay period ends.

Bi-weekly:

Organizations run pay periods over two weeks, typically starting on a Monday. For instance, if a pay period begins on July 1 (Monday) and ends on July 15 (Sunday), and you apply a 3-day delay, you will process payroll on July 18.

Twice per month:

Organizations run two pay periods each month—one from the 1st to the 15th, and the other from the 16th to the end of the month. If you add a 3-day delay, you will process payroll on the 18th (for the 1st–15th period) and on the 3rd of the following month (for the 16th–end period).

Monthly:

Organizations run pay periods from the 1st to the last day of each month. If you add a 3-day delay, you will run payroll on the 3rd of the following month.

Where can I view each team member’s payroll run date?

To check when each team member will be paid:

Navigate to Financials > Manage payroll.

Under the Payroll type column, the pay date should be displayed.
