How do I bulk pay multiple bonus statements?
Process all statements for a pay period in one batch.
Purpose
Most pay periods have dozens of statements. Don't pay them one at a time. Use bulk pay.
When To Use This
Use this when:
- It's pay day
- You've reviewed all statements
- You want to process the whole batch with one pay date
Before You Start
- Review held line items — release the ones that should pay
- Confirm manual adjustments are in
- Check that all statements show the expected totals
Quick Path
- Go to Bonuses → Statements
- Filter to current pay period + ready status
- Select all (checkbox header)
- Click Bulk Pay
- Set pay date
- Confirm
Step-by-Step
Filter your view. Common filter: pay period = current, status = ready.
Use the checkbox header to select all visible statements.
Click Bulk Pay. A modal opens with a single pay date field. This pay date applies to every selected statement.
Confirm. All statements move to Paid.
What Happens After Bulk Pay
- All workers see their bonuses on the mobile app
- All paid statements appear in the Bonuses for Payroll report
- The CSV export captures everything
Why You Use One Pay Date
Bulk pay applies the same pay date to all selected statements. This is intentional — most customers run one pay cycle, so all bonuses for that cycle pay on the same date.
If a few statements need a different pay date, pay those individually, then bulk pay the rest.
Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them
"I bulk paid but missed some statements" Filter for the pay period and look for any with unpaid status. Pay the stragglers.
"Bulk pay caught statements I didn't want to pay" Always review the selected count before clicking confirm.
"My filter shows statements from multiple periods" Tighten the filter. Use period start + period end dates.
