Toast Payroll: Earning and Deduction Timing

• What quarter will an earning/deduction be tied to?
• Does the system read from pay period dates or check dates when it comes to quarter-end filings?

What quarter will an earning/deduction be tied to?
Earnings and deductions are recorded based on an employee's check date, regardless of the pay period dates. For example, if an employee received $100 of REGULAR earnings on a check dated 1/2/2025, this amount would be recorded in Q1 of 2025, even if the pay period is mostly or fully in 2024. Any deductions on this check would also be recorded for Q1 2025.

Does the system read from pay period dates or check dates when it comes to quarter-end filings?
The check date determines which quarter an earning/deduction falls within, regardless of the pay period dates.
