2 min. readlast update: 10.18.2023

Off-cycle payroll is typically used to add wages to a pay period that has already been closed, but not yet paid. For example, an employer can add shift hours that were left out in the original payroll run, pay a retroactive bonus, or add overtime or holiday pay.  

You can also use off-cycle payrolls to make payroll adjustments

Click Payroll along the left, and choose a pay period that was submitted but not yet paid.
