Add bonus wages to a regular check

Select
Setup
, then
Employees
 and make sure the
Bonus
 payroll item is active for employees.
If the Bonus payroll item isn't in the list, contact your Payroll Specialist.
  1. Select
    Actions
    , then
    Enter Time
    .
  2. In the
    Payroll schedule
     field, select the payroll schedule.
  3. Enter the payroll information as you typically would for a regular payroll.
  4. Enter the bonus amount for each employee who should receive a bonus in the
    Bonus
     pay item.
    tip
    • If you don't see the
      Bonus
       pay item in the
      Rapid
       tab, you'll see it in the
      Detail
       tab.
    • If additional payroll items are set to calculate as a percentage of wages (typically a retirement deduction or employer match) and they should calculate using only the regular wages and not include the bonus wages, take note of the amounts before you enter the bonus wages. If those amounts change after you enter the bonus wages, override the values to the pre-bonus calculated amount.
    • Taxes will calculate based on the total gross wages (both regular and bonus wages), your standard payroll period, and the employee's filing status and allowances.
    • For employees with fixed amounts or fixed percentages set up for income tax withholding, the fixed rates will be applied regardless of the additional bonus wages.
  5. Select
    Preview Payroll
     to review the checks before submitting them to myPay Solutions for processing.
  6. Select
    Submit Batch
     when you're happy with the checks.
