What are the options that our company has for processing employee direct deposits? (Kotapay)

Fuse does not offer 3-day, or less, ACH funding for Employee Direct Deposits.

The following options are available for your company to choose from:

  1. 5-Day ACH processing window:
    1. Process payrolls at least 4 business days prior to the Check Date
    2. Fuse Workforce processes ACH Debits from your company bank account to occur 3 business days prior to the Check Date.
      1. Separate ACH Debits for:
        1. Direct Deposits
        2. Payroll Taxes
        3. Invoice Fees
  2. Pre-fund with a wire:
    1. Process payrolls at least 2 business days prior to the Check Date
    2. Initiate wires through your bank to Fuse Workforce, pre-funding your direct deposits, no later than 1 business day prior to the Check Date
  3. Pre-fund with a reverse wire***:
    1. Authorize your bank to allow Fuse Workforce to initiate reverse wires (aka draw-down wires)
    2. Process payrolls at least 2 business days prior to the Check Date
    3. Fuse Workforce initiates a reverse wire from your company bank account 1 business day prior to the Check Date, for the direct deposits
      1. Note: Depending on the amount or your Federal Tax liabilities in each payroll, a 2nd wire may be needed for the total tax liability from each payroll, in addition to the wire for the direct deposits
