Overview

Bonus payments can be paid in the main pay run or processed as an out of cycle manual pay run.

Client Responsibilities

• The Client will advise their consultant when a bonus payment will need to be processed
• The Client will specify the type of bonus payment e.g. Discretionary, Contractual being made
• Upon receiving the timesheet from the EasiPay Consultant, the Client will then complete the timesheet providing gross payment amounts for each employee in the specified format. 

EasiPay Responsibilities

• The EasiPay Consultant will add the required components into the timesheet and send the template to the Client for completion
• The EasiPay Consultant will import the timesheet completed by the Client and verify total amounts have been imported using the Payroll Register totals
• Reports will be sent to the Client for approval as per the standard checking processes.

Note:

• If the bonus payments are processed in a manual pay run, the previous closed Period End Date should be used for the manual pay run to ensure the PAYE calculations are correct for the period.

• If you wish to supply net values, then Datacom will follow the Grossing up process before they can be added to the timesheet.

• PAYE, Student Loan and KiwiSaver should be checked to ensure they are in line with the correct earnings, these are dependent on Direct Credit date.

• A Template can be requested from your EasiPay consultant. Your consultant will generate a timesheet that can then be populated and sent through for upload.
