Hi Rochelley. As always, it's great to hear from you, and I appreciate your clarification of what the previous user was talking about. I've read through this thread, and I see what you all are saying now and appreciate how it would seem that an Unscheduled Payroll shouldn't also be contributing to the CPP and other calculations.
In this case, an unscheduled payroll is just a payroll run without using a payroll schedule. It doesn't have any specific settings to it other than that. Quite literally, QuickBooks Desktop's in-product help section says, "Unscheduled Payroll is designed to be used for those times when you need to create a payment for an employee and you don't want to use payroll schedules."
Like I said, I can appreciate how it can be used to add an additional cheque to a period and the idea that the program should then intuitively understand that you don't need those deductions touched again for that timeframe. Because of that, it's a great opportunity to leave feedback. To make sure anyone that comes across this thread has it, feedback for QuickBooks Desktop can be left by going to the Help menu in product and selecting Send Feedback Online. For QuickBooks Online, these are the steps: How do I submit feedback?
Take care!
