    • The pay period will automatically be filled in depending on the payroll cut-off date.

    • If the deadline has passed, the change will be processed in the following pay cycle. 

    • Once you enter an effective date, you can see when it will be paid out in the "When will this be paid?" callout box.

It is very important to ensure the amount is entered in the currency displayed on the screen (local currency).

The button is located in the bottom right corner of the New Payroll Item screen.

Step 7. Review the information entered in the "One-Time Payments" section.
