The procedure described below will assist when you need to make bonus checks. These are in addition to the regular payroll checks the employees receive. Be sure to run and post the payroll checks on the appropriate pay period even if you run the bonus checks for the same period.
Payroll>>Processing>>Start New Pay Period
Start a new pay period using the date and pay period number you want to reflect on the bonus check..
Enter all the applicable employees to receive a bonus check when you start new pay period..
The system will default the employees' regular hours for this week and pay rate. If you do not want this to appear on this bonus check, simply type over the regular information with the bonus information.
If this is a bonus check that is a "special" pay, you may consider using the (M)iscellaneous type for taxable pay.
If there are any standard deductions that do not apply to the bonus check, then add an employee override to remove those deductions for the bonus check using the override input transactions form the processing menu.
After adding any necessary overrides, you may continue the payroll process for bonus checks.
