After being with our organization for 10-year our employees are eligible for longevity checks. I have recently compared adding the longevity to the regular paycheck vs a separate check for longevity. There is a not-insignificant difference. Is there a way to have two payroll checks for one employee when they are due to get their longevity check?

Yes, we can create two paychecks for an employee while running your payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO), nscarborough01. I can walk you through the steps on how.

 

Create an unscheduled payroll first, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
  2. Select or review the pay period (if applicable) and pay date.
  3. Choose the employee you'd like to pay.
  4. Click Preview payroll.
  5. Review or choose the QuickBooks bank account to track your payroll.
  6. Select Submit payroll.
  7. Click Close once done.

 

Then, run the payroll again for the employee. To give your employee an additional payment select Create another check. I'll add this screenshot below for your visual reference:

Moreover, you can pull up and customize a payroll report in QBO to check the details of entered expenses. Here's an article you can visit in the future: Run payroll reports.
