When you enable Payroll on AutoPilot®, your payroll will automatically process one day before your payroll deadline - giving you 24 hours to make changes or cancel it before it runs.

Prefer to run payroll manually? Simply turn off Payroll on AutoPilot® at any time.


Important Reminders

  • AutoPilot is not available for US contractors.

    • To pay contractors, submit payments manually and select a future payment date.

  • AutoPilot uses your company’s default bank account.

    • If this needs to change, update your bank account settings beforehand.

  • Certain actions will automatically disable AutoPilot.

    • Example: If a team member switches from direct deposit to paper check, AutoPilot will be turned off for everyone on that pay schedule.


Before Payroll on AutoPilot® Runs

Make sure everything is in place before AutoPilot processes payroll:

  • Commission-only employees: Enter commissions before payroll runs; these employees have a $0 salary until commissions are reported.

  • Expenses: Review and approve all relevant expense reports at least one day before your payroll deadline.


How to Turn Payroll on AutoPilot® On or Off

To enable AutoPilot:

  1. Ensure all employees on the schedule are set up with direct deposit.

  2. For hourly workers, set their default hours - AutoPilot won’t run without them.

  3. Contact us at am@cleancloud.com with your:

    • Company Entity Name

    • FEIN Number

✅ We’ll enable Payroll on AutoPilot® for your account.

To disable it, simply toggle AutoPilot off from your payroll settings.
