Managing lump sum payments within a pay run on Payroll classic

Available for the following plans: Employment Lite, Employment Plus, Employment Unlimited
Available for the following Payroll plans: Essentials, Standard, Premium

Within your organisation, you may have a pay run where an employee needs a lump sum payment added or removed to keep an accurate record of their pay entitlements. If this is the case, having Payroll software that allows you to action these requests quickly and easily will reduce the administrative time you spend on managing employee payments.

You can use the Lump Sum Payment feature within the Pay Run module to add a payment line and specify details such as the pay category, location, units, and any required supporting notes. You can also use this feature to delete a lump sum payment line if you added it in error.

A pay run needs creating first before you can add or remove employee lump sum payment lines. To read further information on how to create a pay run, refer to the following article.
