What are additional pay runs

Use additional pay runs to process payments outside the regular pay cycle.
For example, paying bonuses, commission or correcting an error in the regular pay run.
​
Additional pay runs are sometimes referred to as 'special pay runs'.
They're linked to a normal pay run to ensure they're aligned with the regular payroll schedule.
