There are some scenarios where you may need to run a manual payroll in Wagepoint - when you want the system to record the numbers but do not want to pay by direct deposit.
There are two ways to pay manually in Wagepoint:
- For an individual: this is used for those payrolls where you have one or more employee(s) who you need to pay manually but you want all other employees to receive their regularly scheduled payroll by direct deposit.
- For the whole company: this is used if you want the entire payroll to be recorded manually.
Wagepoint will record all of the numbers, the net pay(s) will remain behind in the company account so you can issue a cheque or an e-transfer.
Note: If you would still like Wagepoint to collect and remit source deductions, please select a pay date that meets your funding agreement and ensure remit taxes is left enabled.
For an individual
1. Proceed through the payroll workflow as usual until you are on the final step (Step 4: Review & Approve).
2. On Step 4: Review and Approve, locate the relevant individual and adjust the Payment type to Cheque.
3. Continue with the Run payroll workflow.
This will adjust the payment type for the selected employee(s) on this payroll only.
For the whole company
1. On Step 1 of the Run payroll workflow, uncheck Direct deposit.
This will adjust the payment type for this payroll only.
