If your employees take a holiday and want their pay in advance, you can use the Advance Pay option. 

This feature allows you to process the wages for more than one pay period at once. Your software calculates the deductions, such as tax based on the current period, and any periods you advance.

You can advance pay for multiple employees, or a single employee.
