As an addition to regular payroll, which carries out payroll at fixed regular intervals, this function enables you to carry out specific off-cycle payroll activities for individual employees on any day. Off-Cycle Reasons differentiate between various types of off-cycle payroll runs.

You carry out off-cycle payroll from the Payroll tab page in the Off-Cycle Workbench.

• In Customizing for Payroll, under Off-Cycle Activities ® Set Up Off-Cycle Reasons, you have specified which off-cycle reasons are to be available.
• In Customizing for Payroll, under Payroll Data ® Additional Payments Off-Cycle, you have set up the wage types that you require for your off-cycle payroll runs.
• In Customizing for Personel Administration under Off-Cycle Activities ® Define Default Values for Payment Methods, you can also specify which payment method the system proposes for each off-cycle reason in the Off-Cycle Workbench.
• You have scheduled the batch report for subsequent processing of off-cycle activities as a regular background job with a suitable variant by choosing System ® Services ® Jobs ® Define Jobs. The report is located in the Off-Cycle menu. We recommend that you run subsequent processing as a background job on a daily basis.
