How long does direct deposit take on payday?

When do I get direct deposit of my paycheck?
Instead of holding on to your money while waiting for payroll funds from your employer, we immediately post the deposit to your account when we receive the files—which can come at different dates/times each pay period. That means Direct Deposits will never be pending in your account.
Why did I not receive my direct deposit?

When do DP’s receive their paychecks from the bank?
If there is an issue with an employee’s receiving bank account, typically DP will receive a notification from their bank within three business days of the original check date. Three business days may not sound like a long time in abstract, but it can certainly feel like a long time when the employee is waiting for their pay!
When do you deposit your paycheck at ADP?
When you use a national clearinghouse like ADP, the deposits are made by electronic data transfers, which can happen 6 days per week. An example of this is military pay, which uses federal transfers on the last processing day of the period, unless it falls before a weekend then it processes on Friday; ADP does the same.
