Where does the payroll week break?

A US approver can approve UK payroll on Monday and still leave the UK employer without cleared funding by Tuesday. This planner makes each handoff visible. The first run is a fictional August 2027 example; its provider deadlines and one-business-day funding lag are modelling assumptions, not contractual terms.

1. Dates, direction and owners

Direction

All entered times use the local payroll office clock. Update the holidays and deadlines when reversing direction.

3. Working-day assumptions

Result

Check the actual employer and bank cutoff, transfer method, receipt evidence and FX instruction before acting. A one-day lag here is an editable planning assumption. UK holiday reference: GOV.UK bank holidays.
