 | This article provides step by step instructions for making a temporary change to an employee's payment method in busyPayroll via the Web. Please keep in mind that the payment method change applies only to this payroll. After submission, the default payment method will automatically resume unless changed again manually. |
Get Started
Log into the desktop version of busybusy and navigate to Payroll in the menu on the left.
Review and adjust timesheets as needed, add reimbursements if applicable, and click the Run Payroll button when ready.
 |
If an employee's info has changed, e.g., bank details or pay rate, run the Employee Matching Tool and refresh the page before clicking Run Payroll. |
After clicking Run Payroll, you'll be routed to the preview page where payroll is typically submitted. Do not click Submit Payroll. STOP HERE.
Update the Payment Method
Open a new browser tab and log into Gusto.com with the username and password created during your initial busyPayroll onboarding.
In Gusto, go to the Pay section and select Run payroll for the pay period you initiated in busybusy. Confirm that all employee hours have been accurately imported from busybusy.
For the Spreadsheet View of the Pay Period:
Locate the employee whose payment method you want to update. Scroll to the right to find the Payment Type column. Click on the current payment type (e.g., Direct Deposit) and select Check from the dropdown menu.
For the Legacy View of the Pay Period:
Locate the employee whose payment method you need to change. Click the form of payment listed next to Pay by: and update it to the desired payment method for this payroll.
After updating the payment method in either view, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Review Summary.
On the Payroll Summary page, review the details. If everything is correct, click Submit Payroll.
Payrolls processed in Gusto can still be accessed by an Admin via the busybusy website or employees’ phones through the busybusy app.
You will be directed to the Payroll Summary page, where a pop-up window will prompt you to print checks.
Choose the check printing format: Top (Gusto check stock) or Bottom (blank check stock). Learn more about printing checks and check stock here.
 |
If the pop-up to print checks doesn’t appear, navigate to the Payroll Summary page in Gusto. Expand the What the team takes home header and click Paystubs to access printable checks.
|
Click See Printable Checks to print, and that's all!
Returning to busybusy
If you still see the payroll preview page in busybusy, do not click Submit Payroll. Refresh the page, and you’ll be redirected to the main Payroll screen. If you are still seeing the message at the top of the screen prompting you to run payroll for the same period, refresh the page again, and the Payroll Submitted message will display.
