Christmas Pay and Payroll Deadlines

A dollar sign in a circle going around.

Changes to Deadlines

The last pay run for the year falls on the Christmas Day Public Holiday (Wednesday, 25 December 2024), when banks are closed.

This means there will be changes to when you receive your pay, and changes to deadlines for Pay Period Saturday 7 December 2024 to Friday 20 December 2024.

To ensure there are no delays with processing or receiving pay, please read the below payroll key dates

Pay Day

Expect to see your pay in your account one day later than normal, by Friday 27 December 2024.

While your pay will be processed earlier, bank closures on Christmas and Boxing Day will impact when you receive your pay. For those who salary package, Access Pay will release funds as normal on the Friday.

Payroll Deadlines

Payroll deadlines have been brought forward in the lead up to Christmas. PeopleSoft will lock at 1pm AEST (QLD) time on Thursday 19 December 2024 to allow time to process data. Click here for a printout of Christmas payroll deadlines.

Tips to hit your payroll deadlines:

Submit timesheet entries every few days to ensure the whole period isn’t missed. Leaders can review regularly too.

Look under the date on your timesheet for status updates.

Escalate issues to your leader as soon as possible. Remind your leader to approve your timesheet if needed. Leaders can also submit or approve on your behalf.

Do not go directly to payroll for timesheet or leave submissions. Payroll cannot submit these on anyone’s behalf. This must always come from employees or leaders

Contact payroll for assistance with approvals. If you are having issues with approving leave or timesheets, payroll can provide support.
