When Do Batch Payments Start Processing?
Batch payouts follow a set processing schedule:
Payments begin processing at 11:59 PM Mountain Time (America/Denver)
This happens on the scheduled payout date
Example: If your payout is scheduled for April 1, processing begins at 11:59 PM MT on April 1.
Payment Processing Cutoff
To have payments included in the current processing cycle, all submissions and approvals must be completed by 11:59 PM MT on the scheduled payout date.
Weekly schedule (e.g., Mondays): batch by 11:59 PM MT on Monday
Bi-weekly schedule (e.g., 1st and 15th): batch by 11:59 PM MT on those dates
We recommend submitting by 9:00 PM MT to give yourself a comfortable buffer.
If missed: Payments submitted after the cutoff will move to the next scheduled pay period based on your admin payment settings.
