That's a different question. There's a credit union in my state that has advertised for years that their members can get access to their payroll deposits two days before payday. This may be the way they accomplish that.
However, there's no absolute guarantee that settlement will occur. For example, the sending bank could fail and its payments could be suspended. Highly unlikely, bot a possibility. There could be a payroll error resulting in a reversing entry that hits on the settlement date for the credit sent in error.
