OffCycleFlow

Guided flow to create and run a bonus or correction payroll.

Remarks​

Guides the user through configuring pay period dates, selecting a reason, choosing employees, and setting deduction and tax withholding preferences, then transitions into the standard payroll execution experience (configuration, overview, submission, receipts). All off-cycle payroll types share the same execution steps as regular payrolls — only the creation step differs.

Example​

App.tsx
import { Payroll, type EventType } from '@gusto/embedded-react-sdk'

function MyApp() {
return (
<Payroll.OffCycleFlow
companyId="a007e1ab-3595-43c2-ab4b-af7a5af2e365"
onEvent={(eventType: EventType) => {
if (eventType === 'runPayroll/submitted') {
// Payroll submitted — navigate to your next screen
}
}}
/>
)
}

Events​

Once the flow transitions to execution, all standard run-payroll events are emitted (e.g. runPayroll/calculated, runPayroll/submitted, runPayroll/processed).

PayrollExecutionFlowGuided flow to configure, review, and submit a single payroll.

Step flow​

The flow opens on the creation step, where the off-cycle payroll is configured (pay period dates, reason, employees, deductions, and tax withholding). Once created, it hands off to the shared PayrollExecutionFlow for configuration, overview, submission, and receipts.

The breadcrumb header lets the user navigate from execution back to the creation step (breadcrumb/navigate with key: 'createOffCyclePayroll'). Selecting Save & exit during execution emits payroll/saveAndExit, which the flow does not handle internally — it surfaces on onEvent to signal that the flow has been exited.

Off-cycle reasons​

The creation step supports two off-cycle reasons, each seeding different deduction and withholding defaults. Changing the reason updates these defaults automatically.

ReasonUseDefault deductionsDefault withholding
BonusPay a bonus, gift, or commissionSkip regular deductionsSupplemental rate
CorrectionRun a correction payment outside the scheduleInclude regular deductionsRegular rate

When deductions are skipped, all regular deductions and contributions are blocked except 401(k); taxes are always included regardless of the selection.
