      What is the difference between an Off-Cycle pay-run and issuing a Manual Check?

      Utilizing Execupay and unsure on whether to issue a manual check or run an unscheduled off-cycle payroll? Read below to learn the distinction between the two.

      Manual Checks

      A Manual Check is going to be a physical check that is printed onsite and handed off to the employee. You may run into a few scenarios where you may need to issue a manual check.

      • Terminating an employee. Depending on your  state's compliance laws, you may have to disperse a final paycheck in a physical paper check form. 
      • If you have an employee that will be coming into the office tomorrow to pick up a check that will need to be cashed that same day, you would issue a manual check.
      • An error occurred and a payroll correction was needed. Sometimes issuing a manual check can be the quickest way to settle the issue.

      Generally you will see a manual check being issued due to an urgent matter. 

      Note: if you issue a manual check with Execupay that money will be pulled out on your company's next scheduled pay run. Issuing a manual check will not generate a paystub in GoCo for your employee to view.

      Unscheduled Off-Cycle Payroll

      Off-Cycle Payrolls will utilize ACH and issue a direct deposit to the designated employee. They will typically take 2 days to process. A few examples where you may need to use Off-Cycle Payroll could be some of the following...

      • An employee was terminated and you need to pay them through direct deposit outside of the regularly scheduled pay-run. 
      • You want to issue bonuses/commission outside of the regularly scheduled pay-run. 
      • A surprise reimbursement! For example on employee appreciation day you want to give the employees of your organization $100 each and want to surprise them with that gift on the day off. 
      • An error occurred and a payroll correction was needed.

      Things to note:

      • You can turn off Direct Deposit on the powergrid using the flower pot symbol
      • You can perform an off-cycle pay-run that is paper check (Execupay prints and mails check or you can cut in house)
