Yes, @neftedal, you can create an unscheduled payroll to send to your employees.

3. In the Pay Period section, click the dropdown and select the pay period for May.
4. In the Pay Date section, enter the date you want to pay your employee.
5. Review the pay period and pay date and checkmark the employee's name you'd like to pay.
6. In the Actions column, click the three dots, then Edit paycheck to enter your pay details. You can enter hours, compensation, memos, or any other paycheck info as necessary, then Save and Close.
   
   
    
7. Click Preview payroll.
