How do I run an off-cycle payroll?

Manual pay cycles can be used for processing bonuses or commissions, or any other off-cycle payroll.

  • Manual pay cycles should not be used in place of a regularly scheduled pay cycle.

Updates to employee information must be made prior to starting a pay cycle. Any changes to employee information made after initiating a pay cycle won't be included in that cycle. If you need to make changes to an employee's information after initiating a pay cycle, you can: 

  • Click the Reset button next to the pay cycle in the Payroll Center to start it over. Any one-time changes you have made within the cycle will be lost.

  • Make the edits directly to the employee in Steps 1 and 2. Any edits made will only apply to this pay cycle.

  • Remove the impacted employee in Step 1 by clicking Delete and then re-add them to the pay cycle. The employee's data  will update to reflect any changes you made.
