Add a bonus to regular paychecks

You can add employee bonuses to any payroll run. Of course, you can also cut separate bonus checks any time you like.

Did you remember to set up a bonus pay type for your employees? If you didn't, you won't see the Bonus column when you run payroll. Tell me how.

To add a bonus to regular paychecks:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click Run payroll.
3. If you use more than one pay schedule, select a pay schedule, and then click Continue.
4. Select the checkbox next to each employee to include in this payroll.
5. Enter the hours for each employee who is paid by the hour.
6. Enter the bonus amount for each employee who gets a bonus.
7. Click Preview payroll.
8. Click Submit payroll.
9. Optionally, click Print checks or Print pay stubs. (The checks or pay stubs open in a separate page.)
10. Click Finish payroll.
