Weekly Spotlight: Early Pay/Daily Pay – Tips and Tricks

Early Pay received enhancements with the recent 2.01 BlueSky update. Let’s highlight the great features now available for use. Many clients have asked:

• What if I haven’t closed out invoicing?
• Or, what if I have moved the pay week forward and recieve a late Early/Daily Pay timesheet?

Before we jump into the answers, let’s first talk about the four basic steps of Early Pay.

1. Go to Payroll —> Employee TimeSheets, and filter to the Correct Payweek.



2. Choose the Caregiver eligible for Early Pay —> Make changes to their Timesheet in BlueSky if needed —> then Check “Include in Early Pay.”



3. Add any additional payments needed for the Caregiver. (Reminder: make sure you check “Include in Early Pay!”




4. Select “Pay Employees” —> Choose “Early Pay” with Correct Date —> and Press “OK.”

Congratulations! You have successfully completed Early Pay – wasn’t that easy?!

With the basics out of the way, now we can tackle those FAQs.

• If you haven’t closed out invoiving and another employee needs Early Pay for the same day, re-run Payroll using the steps above.
• And, frustrations from paying for closed out invoices are alleviated with Early Pay. BlueSky allows you to pay a Caregiver for past dates right on Today’s Early Pay Payroll! In this situation, BlueSky prompts a confirmation since you are selecting to pay for old timesheets.
