Multiple Payroll Runs in the Same Period

You can run multiple simultaneous payroll runs using the same pay hours for different employees. To do this, you must use the date range method of selecting timesheets for payroll processing.

For example, if your enterprise has two offices, Boston and Chicago, your enterprise can process a separate payroll run for each office, simultaneously. To do this, the system administrator must select the Enable date ranges for regular hours and overtime hours option on the General tab of the Payroll Setup form in Settings > Payroll > General, in the desktop application. Then the individual responsible for running payroll at each location can set up an automatic payroll posting run, select the appropriate organization from Auto Selections, and run the payroll at any time.

Another use for this feature is to run both a Regular and a Bonus payroll for the same period, simultaneously.
