How to enter Extra Pay (Discretionary Bonus)

The "Extra Pay" option is generally used for lump-sum bonus payments which are not guaranteed to be paid (such as a random, special bonus). It is not for commission payments unless the employees' employment agreement list these as discretionary. It's also not for regular payments, payments agreed to within an employment agreement as guaranteed and/or non-discretionary, or performance based bonuses (e.g. "reach this goal for another $500"). If your payment is one of the latter options, then you will need to enter them as either "Other Income" or as an "Allowance".
From "Time & Income", select "Extra Pay" under "More Income & Deductions".

After ensuring you have chosen the correct employee, select "Add".

Select an "Item" from the dropdown menu. Enter a "Quantity" (how many items you wish to provide), and then a "Pay Rate" (for each Item). The system will calculate a total amount for this item. If you want to enter the total amount yourself then you can set the "Quantity" to "1" and the "Pay Rate" as the full amount.

After you select "Save", this addition will be recorded under "More Income & Deductions".

Note: Bonuses should only be processed under "Extra Pay" if they are discretionary payments, otherwise process the bonuses under "Other Income" or "Allowance".
