To process a spot bonus for the current pay period, which processing options should you use?

• A. Recurring, Automatic, Final
• B. Immediate, Scheduled, Preview
• C. One time, Override, regular run
• D. Backdated, Deferred, Pro-rated

Answer: (C)

The key is to ensure the spot bonus is treated as a one-off payment and included in the current payroll run. By using One time, you designate the bonus as a single, non-recurring payment rather than something that recurs in future periods. Override allows you to bypass standard automatic rules so this exceptional pay can be added in this cycle without being filtered out or altered by normal processing logic. Running it in the Regular run makes sure the bonus is calculated and issued as part of the current pay period’s payroll cycle.

Other options would either set up the payment to occur again in the future, delay it, or apply timing or calculation rules that don’t align with paying the spot bonus in the current period.
