Suspending payment for an employee temporarily.

Objective: this article guides payroll admins on how to suspend payment to an employee for a period.

To suspend an employee from receiving payment in any given month, ensure while running payroll the employee’s name is deselected by switching the toggle button to the left of the employee's name. This will remove the employee from that current payroll.

Steps

• Locate and click on the payroll tab at the left of your screen
• Click on the orange button run payroll at the top right of the screen 
• Select standard
• Under preview payroll, deselect the employee’s name using the blue toggle to the left of their name, meaning you will not be paying them.
• Click on save & continue to view the payroll summary and second-check to confirm that the employee’s name does not appear in the summary list.

Note: For one-off payments and contractors you do not need the steps above because for such payments, you add and select the recipients you want to make payments to.
