How to create and process an off-cycle

1. Start the off-cycle payroll

  • Go to the Payroll section

  • Click Create off-cycle payroll

2. Select employees and enter payment details

  • Choose one or more employees to include

  • Enter the Amount (gross pay)

  • Select the Earnings type (e.g. Bonus, Missed time, Correction)

3. Choose the payment method

  • Automatic – Payment will be sent through the payroll system

  • Manual – You will handle payment separately

4. Review and approve

  • Review all payroll calculations:

    • Gross pay

    • Taxes and deductions

    • Net pay

  • Click Approve payroll to finalize

Manual payments

If you choose Manual as the payment method:

  • The system will still calculate and remit applicable taxes and benefits

  • You are responsible for issuing payment manually (e.g. direct deposit, cheque, or e-transfer)

Always double-check gross amounts, earning types, and the payment method before approving to avoid delays or compliance issues
