Paying Additional Hours in Payroll

Background

You can create additional hour types if you want to pay employees for hours that are NOT worked. An example of time off hours such would be “Vacation” or “Holiday,” or “Sick” or “Jury” pay.

If you want to pay employee for worked hours, add an additional role with a pay rate instead.


Here’s how to pay additional when you are entering payroll for an employee.

  1. Go to Payroll > Run a New Payroll
  2. On Step 1: Payroll Entry, all of your frequently used hour and money types will appear. 
    • Frequently used types can be set at Settings > Payroll Settings > Hours & Money Types. Just tick the star beside the hour type you want to always show by default in payroll.
  3. Click “Show all Hours and Money Types”  if your hour type is not shown.
  4. All active Hour Types will appear.
  5. Enter the number of additional hours in the appropriate column. 
  6. The totals will include any hours you enter.
