Thursday, January 1, 2009 will be New Year’s Day, a federal holiday. The offices of Vision Payroll will close New Year’s Eve, December 31 at 2 pm and re-open Friday January 2. Most banks will also be closed in observance of the holiday. Payrolls dated January 1 will be paid December 31 unless a previous change in schedule has been submitted. Payroll changes and hours must be submitted before the processing deadline on December 29. For payrolls dated January 2, payroll changes and hours must be submitted before the processing deadline on December 30. For payrolls dated January 5, payroll changes and hours must be submitted before the processing deadline on December 30. Payrolls submitted after these processing deadlines will be pushed back until the next available processing day. Due to heavy USPS and UPS delivery requirements, we strongly recommend submitting payrolls during this time as early as practicable. UPS does not ship ground deliveries received on December 31 until January 2 so we do not recommend submitting payrolls on that date. No changes are required for payrolls dated January 6. Contact Vision Payroll as soon as possible to make changes to or for questions on your processing schedule.
