Take payroll off your to-do list and ensure on-time payments with Automatic Payroll.
Time for another great update for employers using Square Payroll: Automatic Payroll! Set your payroll to run automatically so your employees are paid on time every pay period without you having to log in to your Payroll dashboard.
This is for employers paying W-2 employees who are either salaried or whose hours are tracked using Square Timecards. Automatic Payroll isn’t currently available for employers paying independent contractors.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll automatically import timecards and run payroll every pay period so you don’t have to:
- At 5 a.m. PT on the day payroll is due (one business day after the end of the pay period) we’ll automatically calculate salaries, import timecards, and run payroll.
- You’ll get a confirmation email that contains all the relevant details about the pay run, including the number of employees paid and total gross pay. You can review the details of the pay run from your Payroll dashboard.
- If anything seems off, you’ll have until 7 p.m. PT of the same day to cancel the pay run and make any necessary changes. Remember that when you cancel an automatic pay run, you’ll need to manually process payroll. Afterwards, Automatic Payroll will resume for your next pay period.
- At 7 p.m. PT, payroll will be finalized.
