I had a scheduled year end bonus for my employees. But one of the employees is leaving before the year end (and is no longer eligible). How do I edit payroll?

I am also trying to pay them their paid time off money that is due from their service so far.

I had a scheduled year end bonus for my employees. But one of the employees is leaving before the year end (and is no longer eligible). How do I edit payroll?

You can untick the box to exclude the employee from the year-end bonus. Allow me to guide you through this, Sunnymatch.

 

When running the year-end bonus for your employees, remove the check mark by clicking the box next to the employee's name. I've attached a screenshot below as a visual guide:



 

After that, you can run a separate final check for that specific employee. With the final check, you have 2 ways to create a final paycheck:

  • Make the final paycheck their last regular paycheck (also known as a scheduled payroll), or
  • Provide the employee a paycheck outside the normal pay schedule (an unscheduled payroll).

 

To give you detailed information about the process, I've added this article: Create Final Paychecks for Terminated Employees.

 

Furthermore, you may want to update the status of your terminated employees to ensure you maintain an accurate employee list. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the article: Terminate or Change Your Employee's Status on Payroll.

 

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions when creating bonus checks. We're always right here to assist you further. Have a nice day!
