The Ad-hoc Cycle is designed for non-salary payments. This cycle will be processed separately from the regular salary cycle.
The Ad-hoc cycle is an optional payroll cycle available every payroll month. HR can choose whether or not to utilize it.
This cycle is specifically designed for non-salary payments, such as expense claims, commissions, or bonuses, etc that need to be processed separately from the regular salary payment cycle.
When running an Ad-hoc cycle, you may notice that the basic salary is displayed as RM 0.00/SG$ 0.00. This is not an error; it's intentional since the Ad-hoc cycle is meant for non-salary payments, which is why the basic salary appears as zero.
Key Benefits of Using an Ad-hoc Cycle
- Separate Non-Salary Payments: Allows HR to process bonuses, commissions, or allowances without reopening the regular payroll cycle.
- Risk-Free Payroll Adjustments: Keeps the original payroll records intact while handling additional payments.
Common Use Case for Ad-hoc Payroll Cycles
After completing the end-of-month payroll cycle and making payments to employees, HR may need to pay commissions to a few employees. In such a scenario:
- HR prefers not to reopen the closed payroll cycle, as doing so could be risky and might alter the original payroll records.
In this situation, using an Ad-hoc cycle is the most suitable solution.
*Note:
The Ad-hoc cycle is not suitable for processing a resigned employee’s salary. If you need to pay a resigned employee’s salary separately from current employees, please create a new payroll cycle template in the payroll center's settings.
