Cindy - As a Sage business partner, I would be more than happy to walk you through your options (too complicated to type out).  Please give me a call - 815-893-6618 - Jamie B.

Hi Cindy,

Here is a rundown of some different options available:

1)You can create create a bonus earning code with a different frequency than the rest of your regular payroll earn/ded codes and in Calculate Payroll select only the frequency to be paid.

2)Alternatively, in the employee's Payroll>Employee Payroll>Pay tab you can updated the deductions to calculate no.

3)Another option is to enter the deduction on the time cards for $0.

4)Lastly, if your existing bonus is not set to float, you can process the bonus checks during the regular payroll by putting the bonus on a separate time card and checking the box for  "process as separate check". The deductions will only process once on the regular pay check. 

best,

Angel

You can create timecards for the bonus amount and if you only want taxes to withhold you can select "Print on a Separate Check" this will override the pay page and only generate a payment using the earnings/deductions entered on the timecard and the taxes. Best practice would be to setup the bonus earning with a frequency that is not being used by any other earning/deduction codes.
