Problem

I have an employee I don't want to pay this period. What is the best way to process this?

Resolution

The easiest way to process is to advance the employee.

When processing through your variations just click the “Advance” button down the right hand side rather than “Process”.

This will process a zero pay period and hold any tax refunds until the employee is next paid.

NOTE: We would not recommend you use the “Skip” option. This should only be used if you intend to return to process this employee later but for the SAME period.

Alternatively, on the “Period” tab of employee details you can set the “Pay Period” to “Hold”.

This will prevent the employee from being paid until you go back and change this status.
