Can I pay one or more employees earlier than the rest?

Yes, you can pay some employees earlier than the rest.

Let's say most of your team gets paid later this month, but one or two people need their money sooner. Celery lets you do that.

Here's how:

1. Open the regular pay run for this period.
   
   
   
   
2. Use the check marks to select only the employee(s) you want to pay early.
3. Process the pay run as you normally would.

What happens next:

• When you later process the rest of the team, everything comes together in the Documents tab.
• Each run stays separate in the Reports tab. This means you can still create things like separate payment files (for the bank) and salary journals (for your accounting) for each group.
