Hi there,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

Creating an off-cycle pay run is the same as creating your regular payroll schedule. You can use the same pay schedule or create a new pay schedule for the off-cycle pay run. Here's how to:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on Payroll settings and select Pay Schedule.
3. Click on Add.
4. Enter a name for the pay schedule say Off Cycle pay schedule or Ad-hoc pay run.
5. Select the Frequency.
6. Click on Save.

Once done, you can now create the off-cycle payroll using the ad-hoc or off-cycle pay schedule created.

1. Click on the Payroll tab and click on New pay run.
2. Select the pay period and pay date.
3. Click on Manually add employee to this pay run and click on Create.
4. Click on Pay run actions and click on Add employees.
5. Type in the employee name you wanted to pay.
6. Click on Save.
7. Click on Finalise Pay Run when ready.

That's it! You've now created an off-cycle pay run. Lodge also the pay run to the ATO to report year to date figures.
