Paying a worker manually #

Sometimes, a worker must be paid differently than via the main bank file, for example if they need to be paid using a foreign currency. This can be done in one of two ways:

• If this is a one-off, you could just delete the line from the file before upload.
  • It is recommended that you keep accurate records of such edits/deletions to avoid later confusion.
• If this is an on-going situation, you can use the payment method setting on the employee:
  • 

The payment method allows you to choose which banking ReportDefinition is responsible for paying this person. For example, in the case shown:

• The default value is All.
  • If you only have one banking ReportDefinition, this a convenient default.
• Set it to None if you will handle the payment manually
• Or choose the “GB BACS Barclays” ReportDefinition name as an explicit third option.
