Turn off PTO accrual and flat rate withholdings for unscheduled payrolls

Hi, 

 

I often run bonus/ unscheduled payrolls. I wanted to find out if there is a way in the default setting to turn off PTO accrual for unscheduled payrolls and to turn off the flat rate withholdings ex: health premiums fixed rate retirement contributions. I am currently unchecking the do not accrue and manually deleting the deductions for all bonuses, reimbursements and any unscheduled. 

 

Thanks in Advance

Turn off PTO accrual and flat rate withholdings for unscheduled payrolls

Good morning, @1277

 

Congrats on making your first post here on this platform. Allow me to provide you with some details about your question with payroll and withholdings. 

 

With the PTO question, the best route would be to put a check within the Do Not Accrue box at the bottom. This settings is for if you don't want time accrued when paying sick/vacation/overtime. Here's an article that gives more information: Set up and track time off in payroll

 

Furthermore, the system is designed to withhold/not withhold based on different situation. Depending on the situation of the out of cycle check it may require taxes to be withheld, if you wish to remove them you'll have to do so manually. 

 

If you have any other questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask. We're always here to lend a helping hand. Bye for now!

Yes, that's pretty much how you have to do it. There's no special off-cycle run that behaves differently than a regular payroll.
