Run a bonus payroll
Use Paydae's bonus-payroll entry point for a special bonus run.
Reviewed Oct 24, 2026Applies to: Paydae Desktop
From Payroll, choose Open bonus payroll to start an off-cycle run with Bonus or incentive selected. This supplemental purpose uses explicit bonus or incentive transactions; it does not repeat ordinary salary, recurring deductions, or time-off entries.
- Confirm the bonus definition is available for pay-run entry and gather the award approval, classification, employee list, amount, and currency evidence.
- Open the bonus-payroll card. Confirm the purpose, one-month service range, intended payday, title, and close-by date; include eligible employees.
- In Hours & Earnings, add the intended Bonus or Performance Award or eligible custom earning to each employee. Complete the form’s required amount and classification fields. The controlled bonus tax event date comes from the run.
- Save progress, resolve any required exchange rates, and select Preview payroll. Review the bonus, employee net results, statutory treatment, and validation messages.
- Finalise only after the current backend preview is correct and authority checks pass.
The bonus flow uses the special-payroll wizard. It is separate from the normal regular draft, but finalisation still locks the result.
