Can I pay a bonus payment separate to my normal pay run when employees are on salary?

I am paying a Christmas bonus but want to pay it separate to the normal pay run so that the employees aren't taxed as high.  How do I run a separate pay if employees are on salary?

    HI, yes you can . Select Pay Employees, and then unscheduled payroll and then select the pay date and the employees you are paying.

    I have tried that, however because they are on salary, it is automatically picking up their weekly pay.  How do I only pay bonus?

    Hi Nicole, thanks for reaching out to us.

    You can run a different pay for Bonus through Unscheduled Payroll.

    To set up a Bonus item:

    1. Go to the Lists menu and then click Payroll Item List
    2. Click the Payroll Item button and then click New
    3. Select the type of item you want to set up(For Bonus, please select Wage and in the next screen     you would get an option to select Bonus). Click Next
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions. (To go back to a previous window, click Back)
    5. Click Finish

    Hope it helps

    Regards
    Shakir

    I have also done this - but it is still picking up the weekly salary... is there something I have to uncheck?  Even though I do not have any hours for the salaries, it is still automatically picking up the amount.

    Hi Nicole

    This information is coming from the Employee's Card, so you need to manually remove all payroll items from the paycheque and then select the Bonus item and process the pay.

    Hope it helps.
