Specify Other Pay Amounts for the Current Pay Period

The other pay fields are user-defined, one-time, pay amounts that are added to the gross and net pay amounts for your employees.

On the Employee Review dialog box, you can override the default pay amount set in the Employees hub and enter an additional pay amount for the employee, for the current processing session. Other pay amounts are tracked in a separate category and are represented separately on reports. When payroll is posted, the amounts entered in the Other Pay fields are debited to the account specified in the corresponding Other Pay Account field established on the Other Pay Setup tab in Settings > Payroll > General, in the desktop application.

When you enter an other pay amount for employees, Vantagepoint adds this amount to the employee’s base pay (Regular/Salary + Overtime + Secondary Overtime) and adjusts the withholdings accordingly.

To enter an additional pay amount for an employee:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
  2. On the Payroll Payments form, do one of the following:
    • In the Payment run search, select a payment run with a status of Selecting Manual or Selecting Auto.
    • Click + New Payment Run. Complete the form to create a new payment run.
  3. In the Employee Pay Details grid, select the Include in Run check box for employees that you want to include in the payroll payment run.
    This selection process applies only for manual process type payment runs. Vantagepoint automatically saves changes that you make on the form.
  4. Hover over the employee name for which you want to view employee information and at the end of the row, do one of the following:
    • Click and select Edit Details.
    • Click .
  5. In the Other Pay section of the Employee Review dialog box, select the Override check box for each applicable other pay amount line and enter other pay amounts.
  6. Click OK to close the dialog box.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all employees for whom you want to specify other pay amounts.

Next Step: On the Actions bar of the Employee Payment Selection page of the Payroll Payments form, click Print Drafts and review the Draft Payroll Journal prior to processing to make sure that your changes are reflected.
