To pay a worker outside the regular payroll, open Payroll > One-Time Payment in the Admin view, choose the worker, the type of payment and the amount, then select Make Payment and choose Pay Now or Schedule Payment. Each one-time payment gets its own pay stub.
Who can do this: Admins whose permission group includes Payroll > One-time Payment. View opens the page. Paying or scheduling needs Add.
Make a one-time payment
In the Admin view, open Payroll > One-Time Payment.
In Search Employee, find the worker.
Choose the Type of Payment: Payroll Dispute, Reimbursement, Bonus, General Advance or Incentive.
Enter the Total Amount and a Description.
Select Make Payment, then choose one:
Pay Now: you are asked to confirm that you are "authorizing this payment to be executed immediately as a one-time payment to this user." This action cannot be undone.
Schedule Payment: pick the Schedule Date and select Confirm. The date picker allows eligible business days from tomorrow through 90 days ahead. Review the execution date and time shown in the scheduling window before confirming.
On some SequiPay setups, Pay Now opens an additional payment window to complete the payment. Scheduling uses its own Schedule Payment window.
See, pay or cancel scheduled payments
On the One-Time Payment page, select View History.
Each payment shows a status. Use Search... to find one, or Download CSV to export the list.
For a scheduled payment, select Pay Now to pay it today, or Cancel Payment to stop it. Confirm with Cancel Payment, or select Keep Payment to leave it scheduled.
Other ways to make a one-time payment
Run Payroll: select rows and choose Pay Now to pay those amounts immediately instead of in the payroll. See Do Not Pay, Mark as Paid or Move to Next Payroll.
Payment Request: select Pay Now on an approved request. See Pay approved requests.
Where the payment shows up
The worker gets a separate pay stub. It is on their Reports > Past Pay Stubs page, on the One-Time Payment tab.
The Company report counts it under One-Time Payments.
In the Payroll report, one-time payment rows have their own color.
On the mobile app
You can't make one-time payments in the mobile app. Use a web browser. Workers can see their pay stubs in the app: see Mobile: pending pay, verifying your pay and paystubs.
Common questions
Can I undo a one-time payment?
Not after Pay Now. A scheduled payment can be cancelled from View History until it runs.
Why can't I choose another payment type?
This page offers only Payroll Dispute, Reimbursement, Bonus, General Advance and Incentive.
