Create bonus cheques only

Employee bonus cheques are not always tied to payroll runs. You can cut separate bonus cheques any time you like.

To create a bonus cheque:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.

2. Click the Run payroll drop-down arrow, and select Bonus only.
3. On the Run Payroll: Bonus Only page, select an option:
   1. As net pay— take-home pay or what's left AFTER payroll withholdings are taken out.
   2. As gross pay— total pay or what you make BEFORE payroll withholdings and applicable deductions are taken out.
4. Click Continue.
5. Enter the Pay date.
6. Select the checkbox next to each employee to include in this bonus run.

7. Enter the bonus amount for each employee.
8. Optionally, enter a message to appear in the Memo box of the cheque or pay stub.
9. Optionally, click the pencil icon next to Payroll options, select the checkboxes for the options you want, and click Apply. Payroll options include only options relevant to this bonus run. What are the payroll options?
10. Click Preview payroll and review the payroll.
11. Click Submit payroll.
12. Optionally, click Print cheques or Print pay stubs. (The cheques or pay stubs open in a separate page.)
13. When done, click Finish payroll.
