When opening an account with Crystal Payroll, we may request documentation from you to help with the setup of your funds. Please refer to the terms and conditions of our service level options below:
(Important!) Note: If you are using our Basic Bureau service or our Full Bureau service, ensure you carefully read the payment guideline under each section to ensure your staff are paid on time.
SELF SERVICE
A DD form is required if you are on a monthly subscription. For annual subscription payments, it will be via direct credit method.
PAYE SERVICE
A DD form is required if you are on a monthly subscription. For annual subscription payments, it will be via direct credit method.
A DD form is also required for your PAYE payments each month. This method ensures your PAYE will always be received by us on time, and therefore paid to IRD on time. The PAYE will be deducted from your account four working days prior to the 20th of each month. An email will be sent to you a day before the drawing to notify you of the transaction and amount.
If you prefer to make your PAYE payment to us via direct credit method, please let us know.
BASIC BUREAU SERVICE
A DD form is required for your gross wages (wage payment and PAYE) each pay run. The gross wages will be drawn one working day before the payment date to your employees. There is a waiting period in setting up the DD of three pay runs for weekly and fortnightly pay cycles. All transactions for the first three pay runs will be via the direct credit method. Our Bureau Team will provide you with details for the payment. Please note there is no waiting period for monthly pay cycles. Monthly pay cycles require processing the payroll four working days before the payment date as the direct debit can take up to three working days to process.
Letter of Credit (L/C)
We may request a letter of credit if:
- Your gross wage amount is $20,000 or greater in each pay run, OR
- Payroll processing and your payment date fall on the same day.
The bank usually takes up to three working days to process direct debit payments. A letter of credit is a guarantee that your bank will honor the payment to Crystal Payroll if the direct debit is dishonored after we make payment to your employees.
(Important!) Payment Guideline:
The 'Request for Payment Process' button must be clicked by 3:00 PM one working day before payday. For example, if payday is Wednesday, the button must be clicked by 3:00 PM on Tuesday.
You will need to transfer the funds each week for the first three pay runs before we activate your direct debit. The funds must be transferred by 3:00 PM one working day before payday. For example, if payday is Wednesday, the funds must be transferred by 3:00 PM on Tuesday.
