Understanding Off-Cycle Processing

Off-cycle processing refers to processing payments and making corrections to payroll results outside of the normal payroll schedule. Off-cycle transactions are usually made to correct prior payments, enter manual payments, or make early termination payments that can't wait until the next scheduled payroll.

The four types of off-cycle transactions are:

• Manual payments

  Manual payments enable you to enter payments that you have calculated and paid outside the payroll system. Examples include paying a new hire with a manual check because their pay details were not entered in time for the normal pay run.

• Corrections

  Corrections enable you to correct results of any finalized payroll. Examples include reversing a sick leave payment when workers compensation should have been paid.

• Unscheduled payments

  Unscheduled payments enable you to enter one-time payments that are outside the normal payroll process. Examples include one-time bonuses or expense reimbursement.

• Advances

  Advances enable you to pay payees before their normally scheduled pay run. Examples include salary due on termination.
