To check if payroll was received by Intuit:
Note: Individual financial institution policies determine the exact time direct deposits are posted. Intuit cannot guarantee that direct deposit funds will be available in bank accounts of employees by the paycheck date. Advise your employees to check with their banks to find out when funds are posted. See When do direct deposits post? for more information.
