Running an Off-Cycle Payroll

If you want to pay someone outside your regularly scheduled payroll cycles, you can run an off-cycle payroll. To run an off-cycle payroll, follow the following steps:

1. Click the Payroll section and select Run Payroll

2. Scroll to the bottom to the Other Payroll Options and select Off-Cycle

3. To create an Off-Cycle Pay Run, enter in the following information and click Submit

   • Name your pay run

   • Select the date when you want your employees to receive their pay (Note: it must be 4 business days after the day you submit this form)

   • Answer whether you want to omit the standard benefit deductions from this pay run

     • If you select Yes, omit standard benefits and garnishments

       • Every won't make any benefit deductions or contributions

       • Choose this option if you're running an extra pay run for an employee, as benefits are typically paid for in the two standard monthly payrolls

     • If you select No, include standard benefit and garnishments

       • Every will make all your normal benefit deductions and contributions

       • Choose this option if this pay run is replacing a missed standard payroll

4. Once your pay run has been created, click Get Started to enter Hours and Pay information for this pay run

5. Add Employees for this pay run

Tax Withholding for Supplemental Pay

For supplemental pay types (Bonus, Commission, Severance, etc.), you can choose to withhold taxes at a 22% flat supplemental rate. This rate is typically lower than standard tax rates, which may be beneficial for large bonus payments.

Common Reasons for Off-Cycle Payroll

Here are some reasons why you may need to run an off-cycle payroll:

• An employee needs to be paid before the next regular payday

• An employee is given extra compensation outside of the regular payroll

• You are paying a dismissed employee through direct deposit outside of regular payroll

• You are paying severance to a previously dismissed employee

• You are fixing errors from a previous payroll
