REMINDER:

Year End Bonus / Dividend Payments

The close of the year is rapidly approaching, which means payroll files will likely contain year-end bonus and dividend payments along with regular payroll.

Please remember to plan accordingly for these larger than normal payroll files:

  1. Check our holiday schedule to make sure you plan your timing and funding accordingly.
     
  2. Note that larger files might need to be funded by wire.
     
  3. Contact NatPay if your payroll files will be significantly larger than normal.

If either of the following two conditions apply, please plan to use one of the options outlined below.

  1. A payroll exceeds $500,000.
     
  2. A payroll includes one individual receiving more than $100,000.

Options:

  1. Send a wire for the entire amount of the payroll.
     
  2. Process the file in a 5-day time frame (See example below). If you choose this option, please contact NatPay’s Customer Service Department to let them know.
