There's two ways you can pay an employee a one-off bonus or commission:

  • include the payment on one of their regular pays, or
  • process a separate pay just for the bonus or commission.

When paying a bonus or commission, AccountRight treats the total gross pay as the employee's regular wage and taxes it accordingly. This means you'll need to calculate and manually adjust the PAYG Withholding on the pay.

  4. If the Bonus or Commission wage category hasn't already been added to the employee:
    1. Click Add Payroll Category.
    2. Select the Bonus or Commission wage category.
    3. Click OK.
