Hi there, @mbarton30-mb. You can temporarily change the employee's status to exclude them from the upcoming payroll. Here’s how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Find the employees you want to update and click their name.
  3. From the Actions drop-down, select Change Status.
  4. In the Status section, choose Not on payroll.

 

If the employee is using auto-payroll, you can turn it off temporarily to prevent automatic processing. Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
  2. In the Auto Payroll section, click Edit and select Pause Auto Payroll.
  3. Choose between All employees or Individual Employees.
  4. Set the payroll resumption date and click Save.

 

We’re always here to help you if you have any other concerns.
