Bonuses follow an arrears flow — approved by your team, paid in the next payroll, and billed on the corresponding debit invoice.
Bonuses are paid in arrears and billed in arrears. The flow:
You (or your direct manager) approve the bonus through Outstaffer's approval workflow
We pay the bonus to your employee in the next payroll cycle, in their local currency
The bonus appears on that month's Payroll Reconciliation Report
The corresponding debit invoice (issued on the 10th of the following month, dated the last day of the prior month) bills the bonus amount back to you
So a bonus approved in May, paid in May's payroll, appears on the May reconciliation and is billed on the May debit invoice (issue-dated 31 May, raised 10 June).
