Who can use the new option
PayPal announced on November 12 that its Direct Deposit option is live through Workday’s Enhanced Direct Deposit program. It covers employees at participating Workday U.S. Payroll customers, rather than every Workday user worldwide.
Eligible employees can select PayPal inside their existing payroll portal. The integration automatically supplies routing and account details, avoiding manual entry. PayPal says employers face no additional setup work or cost.
Early pay has conditions
Pay may arrive up to two days before the scheduled payday. That timing depends on the payer’s availability and when PayPal receives Workday’s instructions; it is not a promise that every paycheck arrives two days early.
Employees considering the option should check whether it appears in their own payroll setup. A PayPal Balance account is needed to hold and use the balance. PayPal is a financial technology company, not a bank. The announcement does not make all Workday employers participants.
