Can I do 2 pays on the same day?

[Jay]

Hi Paul, I have to do payroll, and am giving a bonus as well. I don't want the bonus pay added due to the higher taxes that get taken out. I do direct deposit, and want both the current pay and the bonus to go in thursday. how would I do it?

Thanks for such a great product!

Just run a special payroll for the bonuses on the day before or the day after your regular pay day. (Can be run on the same day by simply changing the date in PayWindow after printing your reports and performing the special bonus payroll.)

Ok thanks Paul thats what I thought and am doing. However, I need the pay date to be the same date as payroll, so I thought I would just change the date on the DD file before I uploade it to my bank. Am I correct that the date is just below the EIN and yymmddyymmdd0 format?

Thanks again

I found another one on line 1do all 3 need changed?

[Paul Mayer]

Unfortunately the Direct Deposit record layout is something I don't have an answer for.

I'd compare the two records to see what the differences are and try from there.

Paul, I changed the date on line 1 and also on line 2 and got it to upload successfully. Just an FYI in case any one else would like to do it. I can send you a screen shot if you would like.

Once again, thanks for a great product, Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Email it to me as I believe we don't want to share bank account numbers on the web.

[Jay]

Sorry for the delayed response, but I will get it to you as soon as I can.

[Jay]

should I just email it to support@zpay ?

[Paul Mayer]

I don't think it is as simple as editing now that you ran into the problems. I'm betting there is a checksum that is put in that balances all created information to prevent fraud. Not being an expert on the ACH file format since this was all created for us by Bank of America experts, even looking at what you have will not help.

If you want the bonus checks on a separate check, it will have to use the standard exported file.

Sorry.

[Jay]

I opened the file in notepad, and changed the date in 3 locations. I uploaded to my bank and my employee's got both their pay and bonus on the date I wanted. I will email a snapshot to support, with some blackouts, for account security.

[Paul Mayer]

Send me the actual file in email as I do have an ACH validator that may tell me what is wrong, looking at it will not help me since I'm not familiar with the format.

[Jay]

I just emailed it to support for you to look at. if you have any questions, please let me know. Just trying to be helpful
