Payroll options on pay bonus ...add pay period

Welcome to the Community, @carlosramos

 

You can add a bonus on a regular paycheck or you can create a separate bonus paycheck. 

 

If you're trying to create a paycheck on an off-cycle (not on a regularly scheduled payday) you can create a separate bonus paycheck. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Workers tab on the left menu, then select Employees.
  2. Click Run payroll, then select Bonus only.
  3. Choose the applicable settings for the bonus paycheck, then click Continue.
  4. Choose the employee, then enter the bonus amount.
  5. Click the edit (pencil) icon beside "Payroll options".
  6. Choose the payroll options you want, then select Apply.
  7. Click the preview to review details, then click submit payroll when ready.
  8. If you selected As net pay, the pay stub includes Employee Taxes Paid by Employer in the pay section.

For your reference, read through our help article: Pay an employee bonus. It helps you learn about how to pay employees bonus if you want to add it on a regular paycheck.
