What this does
An off-cycle run is an extra pay outside the schedule, for the people you pick. You set the period and the pay date yourself.
Steps
- Go to Pay Runs and choose New pay run.
- Under "What are you paying?" choose Off-cycle pay.
- Pick the Pay group.
- Set the Period start, Period end and Pay date. Tax uses the year of the pay date.
- Tick the people this pay is for.
- Choose Create run.
- Enter hours and amounts, then calculate, review, approve and pay as with any run.
Good to know
- Use off-cycle pay for a missed pay, an advance run or a pay you must issue before the next regular pay.
- The period must not end before it starts.
- For a bonus alone, use the Bonus kind. See Bonus runs.
- The run counts in year-to-date totals and in remittances like any other approved run.
- Year-to-date maximums for CPP and EI carry through, so an off-cycle pay does not take contributions twice.
