create one time paycheque

Hello, @DonnaM2.

Creating an unscheduled payroll depends on how you want to pay your employees. For example, a bonus, commission, or final pay. If one of these is what you need, you can follow these steps:

1. On the Employees page, click the Run payroll dropdown and choose Bonus only, Commission only, or Fringe benefits only.
2. If prompted, answer any additional questions and enter tax or paycheck calculation details (if applicable).
3. Select Continue.
4. Review or set the pay period and pay date.
5. Select the employees to include.
6. Click the column for each employee or Actions, then Edit paycheque to enter the pay details.
7. Select Preview payroll.
8. Choose the QuickBooks bank account you want to use to track payroll.
9. Select Preview payroll details, then click Submit payroll.
10. Click Close.
     

If you meant you want to create a regular unscheduled paycheque with the same pay period as a previous run, match the previous pay period dates when creating the paycheque.

However, if you want to create an unscheduled paycheck for a different date (for example, to pay in advance), adjust the Pay period and Pay date accordingly.

I also recommend checking with your agency to confirm they allow two separate unscheduled payrolls, and consulting your accountant if you want help ensuring the payroll data is processed safely and organized correctly.
