How often must I issue payroll? Can I do it bi-weekly?
Certified payroll reporting mandates require the submission of "weekly" certified payroll reports. Therefore, to accurately generate these weekly reports, you should issue payroll on a weekly basis, as QuickBooks only recognizes payroll when the paychecks are cut, and not when the payroll is earned.
Certified Payroll Solution will handle bi-weekly payroll, however, it will report the full amount of the bi-weekly paycheck on the final certified payroll report. In "most" cases, adding a statement in the Remarks section on the Statement of Compliance "that payroll is issued on a bi-weekly basis and the amounts reflected on the certified payroll report are the total of that full bi-weekly check", will suffice. However, we make no guarantees that this will be accepted by the entity that you have to submit the reports to.
For additional information on bi-weekly payroll, read the following article, Certified Payroll Solution - Bi-Weekly Payroll, found in the Certified Payroll Solution Training, Support & Resource Center.
