The payroll is a weekly process. The pay period is Monday to Sunday. Pay cards are funded each Friday for the work week before.
The I/TW Agreement and Purchase Order (PO) must be submitted to Opportunities Inc. at least seven (7) calendar days before the anticipated I/TW start date. This seven (7) calendar-day period allows Opportunities, Inc. to review and approve the I/TW. During this period, the DVR consumer is responsible for completing all required onboarding paperwork (I-9, W-4, etc.), with I/TW Service Provider assistance if needed. All paperwork must be completed, and an acceptance email must be received from Opportunities, Inc. before the consumer can begin work.
Due Tuesday by 12:00 p.m.: I/TW Service Providers submit hours worked for previous week by entering employee/consumer hours in time entry portal for each employee/consumer who worked, or approving hours entered or punched by the I/TW employee/consumer.
Tuesday: Opportunities Inc. will reach out to I/TW employee/consumer for updated banking information on any direct deposit returns received, and conduct follow-up verifications or ask questions if needed.
Wednesday: Payroll is calculated, processed and verified. The bank file is submitted for the net pay values.
Friday: Pay date and date the Rapid Pay cards and bank accounts are funded.
This timeline will need to be adjusted and/or accelerated when there are holidays. This will be the case for Memorial and Labor Day where the holiday falls on a Monday, for instance. This shortens the cycle by one day and requires Opportunities Inc. time approvals by end of day Tuesday.
It will be key to stick to the Tuesday 12:00 PM deadline for all time entry and approvals each week.
