Processing an Adhoc Payroll


In this topic

Introduction

This topic describes how to create and process an (adhoc) out of cycle payroll.

An adhoc payroll is a payroll that you are running outside of your normal payroll.

Common reasons for running an adhoc payroll include:

  • Terminating an employee and paying them out on their last day at work
  • Making an adjustment for a normal payroll that you have already paid
  • Paying additional payments, such as bonuses or commissions

Creating an Adhoc Payroll

To create an adhoc payroll:

  1. Go to the Payroll -> Open Payrolls screen
  2. Click on the Create Adhoc button (located in the row of buttons below the payroll dates)
  3. On the Create Adhoc Payroll page, select the Paycycle that the employees you need to pay are in (if there are employees in different paycycles, you will need to create a separate adhoc for each paycyle)
  4. If you are doing an adjustment, or making an additional payment, for a period in which you have already run your normal payroll, select the period from the Adjust Tax For dropdown. The system will then tax payments in your adhoc payroll as if they were paid in the original payroll.
  5. Edit the Payroll Dates if required

    NOTE: If you are creating the adhoc payroll to pay a termination, the Accounting Date of the payroll needs to be on or after the employee’s termination date.

  6. If you don’t want salary sacrifice items to be deducted from this payroll, put a tick in the Adjust ALL Salary Packaging to ZERO ($0.00) check box
  7. Move the employees that you want to include in the adhoc payroll from the Available Employees list to the Selected Employees list
  8. Click the Add Adhoc Payroll button
  9. Run the payroll in the same way that you would run a normal payroll (refer to the Processing a Normal Payroll help topic for more information)

Deleting an Adhoc Payroll

To delete an Adhoc Payroll:

  1. Go to the Payroll -> Open Payrolls screen
  2. Select the adhoc payroll that you want to delete from the Payroll to Process dropdown
  3. Click the Delete Adhoc button (located in the row of buttons below the payroll dates)
