Use Off-Cycle Payroll to pay bonuses, reimbursements, or other supplemental amounts to specific employees without waiting for the regular monthly run.

​
Getting There

Open Pay, click Run payroll, and choose Off-cycle. This opens a three-step flow: Select Employees, Enter Amounts, and Review & Submit.
1

Select Employees

You will see a list of your active employees (up to 500) with their name, role, and salary. Each employee’s salary is shown in that employee’s own currency.
  1. Tick the checkbox next to each employee who should receive this payment. Use Select All to include everyone (the header shows how many of the total are selected).
  2. Click Next.
If no active employees appear, add employees first. See Managing Payroll Employees.

Enter Amounts

An off-cycle run goes out on the next payout day, with your regular salaries, so there is no pay date to pick. For each selected employee, fill in a card:
  • Type: The payment type. Defaults to Performance Bonus. Options are Performance Bonus, Signing Bonus, Festival Bonus, Equipment Reimbursement, Travel Reimbursement, Internet Reimbursement, Overtime, Arrears, and Custom. Each line is added as a pay addition named after the type you pick.
  • Amount: The payment amount, in that employee’s own currency - the one their salary is shown in on the card above.
  • Notes (optional): A working note for whoever is entering the amounts. It is not submitted, so it is not stored on the payroll run or on the adjustment that gets created. Do not rely on it as a permanent record.
You can remove an employee from the run with the x on their card. A running Total is shown at the bottom, with one line per currency, because amounts entered against employees paid in different currencies do not add up to a single figure.Every selected employee must have an amount before you can continue. Click Next.

Review & Submit

A summary table lists each employee, their payment type, and amount in that employee’s currency, along with the total, again one line per currency, and that it goes out on the next payout day. When everything looks right, click Create Off-Cycle Payroll. Omnivoo creates an off-cycle run whose pay period start and end are both today, auto-named in the form Off-Cycle - Mon D, YYYY (for example, “Off-Cycle - Jul 5, 2026”), with each employee’s amount added as a pay addition. A confirmation reading Off-cycle payroll created successfully appears.
You are taken to the run detail page, where you approve and pay the run the same way as a regular run. See Running Payroll for the approve-and-pay flow and Payroll Statuses Explained for what happens next. An off-cycle run pays only the amounts you enter, never a month’s salary. TDS on them is deducted. PF, Professional Tax and LWF are not, since the month’s regular run takes them. The list shows people employed through Omnivoo, and a person serving notice can still be paid.
Off-cycle runs are ideal for mid-month bonuses, one-time reimbursements, or any payment that should not wait for the regular payroll cycle. For amounts that recur every month, use a recurring adjustment on the regular run instead.
