What is the reason for this change (as of September 2024)?

Shifting the timeline will reduce situations where Horizons needs to advance payroll funds on behalf of our customers.


For example, in October 2024, when we send out the invoices by Oct. 10th and the due date of the same is Oct. 20th, we will ensure funds have been received before we make payment to the employees for the Oct. 25th pay date.


With the old timeline, the October invoice would’ve been for the Oct. 11th and 25th pay dates. If we kept the old timeline, by the time we receive your payment on Oct. 20th, we would have advanced the Oct. 11th payroll costs for 10 days. Payroll financing is not part of Horizons’ business model and we are trying to redress that with this timeline change initiative.


Will the Variables (e.g. bonus, commission, expenses) submission deadline change?

No. The monthly deadline remains the 5th of each month.


What do the rows in red mean?

They are emphasized to show a 3rd pay period being invoiced.


Because of our bi-weekly payroll cadence in North America, there are 26 pay periods (& pay dates) in a calendar year. In 2025, the months with 3 pay periods (& pay dates) will be January and August. 


Why are you billing a 3rd pay period for September 2024?

It is true that in 2024, the months with 3 pay dates were only March and August. September 2024 stands out with a 3rdpay period billed because of this timeline shift initiative. It is needed to kickoff the new timeline.
