How to process a One-Off Pay
One-off pays allow a pay period to be run in parallel with an existing pay period and are best used in special situations (e.g. for an adjustment, backpay, termination, or anything outside your normal weekly/fortnightly/monthly pay cycle) only.
One-off pay periods are easily recognised by the period number format, which have a suffix of ‘.1’ or ‘.2’ etc. The underlined Payment Date column may be changed for a one-off pay period; this is relevant with respect to the timing of PAYE for the period.
Important:
Please ensure all regular pay periods for the employee have been processed and approved prior to creating a One-Off Pay.
To create a one-off pay, click 'Settings / Help' > 'Company Settings' > 'Company Pay Period'.
Locate the row with the Start/End Date required and click the underlined Period number. This will pop up a confirm prompt. Click 'Yes' and the new Company Pay Period (as shown below) will be created.

Once the one-off pay period has been processed please navigate back to the Company Pay Period grid and click the Current Period checkbox for the top row (your most recent normal Pay Period) to ensure that the system is able to automatically create a standard Pay Period for your next normal Pay Run.
