Open the draft, select the pencil icon next to the employee, select **Add earning item**, and choose the type (Bonus, Commission, and so on) and amount. Name it clearly, for example "September commission," so it reads well on the paystub and in reports. If the group is on Auto-Pay, adding an earning pauses Auto-Pay for that run, and you will need to approve the payroll manually. *** ## Running an off-cycle payroll Use an off-cycle payroll when the payment can't wait for the next payday, or shouldn't be mixed with regular wages (e.g. back pay for time already worked, or a one-time payment). From **Payroll → Off-cycle**, enter: * A payment name and reason * The pay period start and end dates the payment covers * The pay date. Bank holidays are excluded, and the earliest available date reflects your processing period. * The bank account Then add each employee and their earnings. Off-cycle drafts start empty. You enter the amount for each person. For a salaried employee's partial first period, enter the prorated amount. *See the video below for more information on running Off-cycle payrolls.*
