affect my payroll processing?

 How will Veterans Day and other federal holidays affect my
payroll processing?
Overview
If a payday falls on a federal banking holiday:
If no changes are made to your payroll, direct deposit paychecks will be posted on the first
business day after a bank holiday.
If you want to pay employees before the holiday, adjust the paycheck date accordingly. You will
also need to adjust your submission date to allow for the two business days needed to process
payroll and direct deposits (Holidays are not considered business days). If your date change
includes the leap year day, February 29, verify your computer/operating/calendar system
recognizes the date.
If a payday falls within two banking days of a holiday, payroll must be submitted one day earlier
than usual. Example: Labor Day holiday falls on a Monday. Payroll must be submitted
Wednesday August 28th for a payday of Friday August 30th.
