Employee bonuses absolutely can be included in a normal weekly payroll check... the problem is that since most software programs calculate federal withholding on an annulaized basis, they will interpret the large gross (the total amount you got paid for the week) as though your normal pay is higher (ie you got a raise) and will then take out more federal withholding taxes (and state taxes depending on what state you live in).
