Manual payments - Mark a payslip as paid outside the payroll system
Updated over a week ago

If you pay an employee's paycheck outside of the Workforce.com Payroll system, such as by a physical check on their last day of work, you can mark the corresponding payslip as a 'manual payment'.

Any payslip marked as a 'manual payment' will not be paid out via a bank transaction when the pay run it belongs to is posted. This prevents duplicate payments for the same payslip.

Only payslips in a draft state can be marked as manual payments.

How to mark a payslip as a manual payment

Navigate to the draft payslip that you want to mark as a manual payment. Click the three dots beside the employee's name to open additional options.

Select the "Mark as manual payment" option.

Once you select this option, you'll be prompted to confirm the action. Click Confirm.

After confirming, the payslip should be marked with a Manual Payment label indicating it won't be paid out via an automated bank transaction when the pay run posts.

How to mark a payslip as an auto payment

If you want a payslip marked as a 'manual payment' paid out automatically via a bank transaction when the pay run is posted, you can revert the payslip back to an 'auto payment'.
