Payroll Off-Cycles gives you flexibility to process payroll for employees within specific time periods, outside of the regular monthly cycle.
💡 Example: You want to pay a bonus on September 5th instead of waiting until the regular payroll date, September 25th. Off-cycles allow you to do this quickly and easily.
Off-Cycle Payroll Page
You’ll find a new Off-Cycle Periods tab inside your Global Payroll page.
Regular Cycles: Shows your standard monthly payrolls.
Off-Cycle Periods: Shows any payroll runs processed outside of the regular monthly cycle.
Each off-cycle follows the same steps as your regular payroll: setup, validation, reporting, and payout - Learn more.

👉 You can always add employee payments later from the payroll details page or from each employee’s payments page.
📆 Step 2: Add Employee Payments
Choose the employees and payment items (e.g., bonuses, commissions, allowances) that should be included.
Payments can be added during the off-cycle period creation or afterwards.
Each included employee will receive a separate off-cycle payslip once payroll is processed.
👉 Off-cycle payrolls are fully separated from your regular monthly payroll, giving you maximum flexibility while keeping reporting and compliance simple.
