Special Pay Runs Features 

• Does not affect any employees who are not part of the special run 

• Does not take CPP/QPP exemptions into account 

Special Pay Run Uses 

• Use the special run to perform another run within the same period as a regular pay run. For example, if you need to add some additional hours or earnings to an employee that you already processed in your regular run, the special run allows you to add them in for the same pay cycle. 

• In the Special Run just include the MISSING amount/hours, the regular run will remain with the previous payment amounts.  

• Special off-cycle payment outside of your regular pay run. 

Important 

Step 11. When you use a special pay run to add extra earnings to an already completed regular run when you reach the calculate step of the pay run it is recommended you choose "No, use custom calculations," and then turn off any benefits/deductions the employee should be subject to again.
