Scene 1: Pay commission on the 15th and pay basic salary on the 25th
A trading company has a large number of departments and employees, and it cannot count the commissions of employees before the pay date. Therefore, it is necessary to issue commissions on the 15th and basic salary on the 25th.
Here are main setting steps:
First Pay - Commission
Step 1
Enter [Payroll] >[Pay run], choose One-time Pay Run and fill the Basic Information
Because all employees need to be paid commissions in this case, so select the "Salaried employees under this pay rule" under the Employees included in this pay run section. Besides, in Advanced Settings, only check for Variable Pay Items.
Step 2
Click on [Next], and the current amount is 0.
Step 3
Enter [Payroll] > [Variable Salary Data], add or import staff’s commission amount and back to Pay Run and view the new one-time pay run.
Step 4
Back to [Pay Run], View the new One-time Pay Run and click on Recalculate. After confirming the correct amount was input, choose [Next] >[Submit] > [Pay].
Second Pay - Basic Salary

Enter [Payroll] > [Pay Run] > [+ New], add new pay run and fill in Basic Information.
Step 2
Click [Recalculate] > [Submit] > [Pay]

Step 1
Enter [Payroll] > [Settings] > [Payroll Policy], click on [+ New] to add a new payroll policy and select Weekly payroll for Pay Period, then Save.
