Are there exceptions for an ad-hoc (off-cycle) payment in countries where we run a semi monthly payroll?

Currently, an off cycle payroll is only possible for countries where we run a monthly payroll and it’s run only once a month. While we do not offer off cycle payroll runs in countries where we run a semi-monthly payroll, there are special cases where we can process an ad hoc payment.

In this article, we will cover: 

• Criteria for ad hoc payment (semi-monthly payroll countries)
• Ad hoc payment submission deadline
• Payment dates

Criteria for ad hoc payment (semi-monthly payroll countries)

• If we mistakenly exclude a new hire.
• If we missed approved expenses or incentives submitted by respective country's payroll cut-off date.
• Payments which have a legal requirement to be paid by a certain date
  • Severance payments
  • Termination payments

Ad hoc payment submission deadline

An ad hoc payment needs to be submitted and approved by our team before the respective country's payroll cut-off date. To submit an ad hoc payment, please reach out to us at help@remote.com.
