Every Dripos Payroll customer will begin on a 3-day processing timeline for regular payroll, i.e., run payroll by Tuesday for Friday payday

2-Day

Dripos Payroll customers who complete 10 successful regular payruns with Dripos with have the opportunity to upgrade to 2-day processing, i.e., run payroll by Wednesday for Friday payday

​
Funding Requirements

Failed funding will result in a penalty fee of $150 to remedy the payroll error with our payroll partner.
In order to run payroll on Dripos, it is imperative to have the full cash requirement, or debit amount, settled in your connected payroll bank account at the time of payroll submission. If Dripos’ banking partner attempts to withdraw the funds and funds are insufficient or the account is closed, the payroll will fail to fund. If your payroll fails to fund: ❗Depending on your processing period, your employees may not get paid on time. ❗Your payroll account will be moved to an ‘in bad standing’ status. ❗Your account will be locked from running further payrolls until the payroll is funded and your account is back in good standing. ❗While your account is in bad standing, Dripos and its compliance partner is unable to remit or file taxes on the employer’s behalf. ❗The account will be charged a $150 failed funding fee, which is the cost to Dripos’ of remedying the failed funding with our banking partner. ❗If your account fails to fund payroll, you will be notified via email and your Dripos payroll dashboard will show a warning. Reach out to payroll@dripos.com for assistance funding the payroll and putting your account back in good standing.
