Is there a prompt that can be set up in QB payroll to remind one when to start the direct deposit payroll to make the payroll direct deposit  on time?

There isn't a specific reminder prompt from the Payroll Center. But perhaps you can try adding a reminder manually?

So you go to Company > Reminders > Then click on the Plus icon. Choose Task as the Type. Set the priority to High. Then enter the date when you should run the payroll. Pick a time, if you'd like. And in the Details box, you can just add a short description, something like, "Run Payroll".

And to make sure your reminder pops up every time you open your company file, make sure it is turned on in the Preferences:

Edit > Preferences > Reminders > My Preferences tab > Tick the box for Show Reminders List.

This is what's working for me right now. Hope this helps. :)
