Use this Create a One-Time Payment job aid to process One-Time Payments (OTPAY). One-Time Payments (OTPAY) are used for single, non-recurring payments, such as incentives, merit awards, bonuses, stipends, and settlement/severance payments.
In order to ensure payments for employees are processed correctly, Human Resources and Payroll professionals need to ensure they are utilizing the correct codes when processing transactions.
Before you begin, make sure:
You have the employee ID for the individual you want to update.
The salary or compensation change has been officially approved.
You have reviewed the pay cycle calendar for the timing of the request.
