Using the Special Pay frequency in the Process Payroll Assistant

You can use the frequency Special Pay when you want to record an employee payment that is not based upon the frequency selected for the employee in the Payroll Details view - Wages window. You may want to use Special Pay, for example, for payment of a bonus. (To use the Special Pay pay frequency)

You'll select Special Pay in step 1 of the Process Payroll Assistant. To select this method of payment, choose Special Pay from the Pay Frequency to process field.

When you select Special Pay as the pay frequency, all of the employees you've set up in the Card File will appear in the Review & Edit window of the Process Payroll Assistant.

Also, no wages are assigned to the payment. That is, no wages normally assigned to each employee are entered in the Pay Employee window for an employee; you must enter a "special" wage manually.
