  • Select the Earnings type (e.g. Bonus, Missed time, Correction)

3. Choose the payment method

  • Automatic – Payment will be sent through the payroll system

  • Manual – You will handle payment separately

4. Review and approve

  • Review all payroll calculations:

    • Gross pay

    • Taxes and deductions

    • Net pay

  • Click Approve payroll to finalize

Manual payments

If you choose Manual as the payment method:

  • The system will still calculate and remit applicable taxes and benefits

  • You are responsible for issuing payment manually (e.g. direct deposit, cheque, or e-transfer)
