SinglePoint Payroll: ACH Direct Deposit With Full Tax Remittance

SinglePoint payroll originates ACH PPD employee credits and CCD tax impounds in the same cycle, with integration hooks for ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, Workday, Rippling, Paylocity and UKG. Federal withholding routes through EFTPS to the IRS; state withholding and unemployment insurance route to each state department of revenue.

Per NACHA ACH operating rules, payroll direct deposit is the primary consumer credit use case on the PPD code. U.S. Bank is an ODFI on both FedACH and EPN — SinglePoint clears employee credits the shortest path to every American RDFI.

PPD Employee Credits

PPD (Prearranged Payment and Deposit) is the NACHA SEC code for consumer credits under signed authorization. Every SinglePoint employee direct-deposit entry routes as PPD. Entries include employee name, routing number, account number and pay amount. SinglePoint surfaces Same-Day, Next-Day and Second-Day settlement windows so payroll operations picks the cost-timing trade-off for each cycle.

CCD Tax Impounds

CCD (Corporate Credit or Debit) handles the tax-impound leg — moving withholding and employer-share payroll tax from the operating account to the tax authority. EFTPS accepts federal 941 and 940 via CCD. State withholding and unemployment accept CCD from SinglePoint bill-pay into each state department of revenue or labor.

Provider File Exchange

Payroll providers — ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, Workday, Rippling, Paylocity, UKG — generate NACHA files that flow into SinglePoint over secure FTPS or API. The treasury team approves the batch inside SinglePoint; U.S. Bank acts as the ODFI for origination.

Employee Onboarding & W-2 Alignment

SinglePoint prenotes new employee bank accounts with zero-dollar NACHA entries before the first live payroll, catching invalid account numbers before they disrupt a pay date. W-2 totals reconcile against SinglePoint transaction reports for year-end close. The SinglePoint audit trail retains every entry for 7 years.

Service Profile

Weekly payroll — release 2 banking days before the pay date for Next-Day settlement.
Bi-weekly — same 2-day lead; most common frequency among American employers.
Semi-monthly — 15th and last day of month; pay date shifts to prior business day on weekends/federal holidays.
Monthly — salaried workforce; less time-sensitive than hourly cycles.
Off-cycle and bonus runs — Same-Day ACH if under the $1M per-entry cap.
941/940 tax deposit — EFTPS route, scheduled against the IRS tax period.

Integrated Provider Flow

For integrated clients, the payroll provider (ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, Workday, Rippling, Paylocity, UKG) computes gross-to-net, calculates federal and state tax liability and emits a NACHA file plus tax-impound instructions. SinglePoint receives the file via FTPS or API, validates hash totals and presents the batch for dual-control approval. Release sends the batch to FedACH or EPN as the ODFI.

Provider-led flow is common for SMB and mid-market clients using a full-service payroll product. The treasury team approves the batch without touching gross-to-net calculation.

Treasury-Led Flow and Tax Remittance

Larger enterprises that run payroll in-house upload NACHA files directly to SinglePoint — either generated by Workday Payroll, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG Pro or an internal payroll engine. Tax remittance routes separately: Form 941 quarterly federal withholding and Form 940 annual FUTA go through EFTPS; state withholding and unemployment insurance route through the SinglePoint bill-pay biller directory to each state department of revenue.

Each tax confirmation (EFTPS acknowledgement, state DOR response) attaches to the SinglePoint audit trail. Year-end W-2 and 941 reconciliation pulls from the same retained record.

Exceptions, Rejections & Replacement

Employee-side returns are rare on payroll credits but do occur — R02 closed account, R03 no account, R04 invalid account number and R07 authorization revoked. SinglePoint surfaces each return in the payroll exceptions queue, linked to the original entry. Payroll operations corrects the employee master file, re-originates through SinglePoint or cuts a manual paper cheque for urgent cases. The replacement entry carries a trace reference back to the failed original so the W-2 reconciliation stays clean.

For employer-side tax rejections (EFTPS not-accepted, state DOR bounce), SinglePoint presents the response code and opens a remediation task. Re-submission closes the loop before IRS or state late-deposit penalties apply.
