Does anyone have a zero hours contracted employee and if so how did you enter them onto payroll and pay monthly please?

A zero-hours contract employee is set up like any other employee. When adding them, select Hourly as their pay type and set their scheduled hours to zero. This ensures they default to a zero balance each month.

Here’s how:

1. Go to All Apps, select Payroll, and then select Employees.
2. Click New Employee and complete their basic information.
3. In the Employment Details section, choose Monthly from the Pay Schedule dropdown.
4. Enter 0 in the Pay Rate section and select per hour.
5. Review the profile details and click Save.

When it’s time to run your monthly payroll, the trainee will appear on the list with zero hours. If they didn’t work for the month, leave the hours as zero and submit the payroll.
