What does it mean when I try to run payroll, but I get an error saying "Your business cannot process payroll due to an issue with your Toast Payroll account"?
There are three reasons you might see a Cannot Process Payroll status for a payroll on the Pay Cycle Dashboard:
In all three cases, the owner/operator or the Toast Payroll finance contact should reach out to Customer Care to resolve the specific situation. In the event that there is potential or suspected fraud on the account, we will also email your to make you aware of the suspected fraud. You might receive an additional notification in the as well. If so, follow the directions in the notification if you receive one.
