How do I pay an exempt employee who quit before the end of the pay period?

Hi, lovek. We can create an unscheduled final paycheck for your employee. Reach out to your tax agencies to see if any other requirements need to be taken before we get started. 

It's essential to manually calculate the final pay before we create an unscheduled final paycheck. I recommend consulting your accountant to ensure accuracy and compliance with the law.

To proceed, please follow these steps:

1. Head over to the Payroll menu. Click Employees.
2. Pick the Run payroll dropdown. Choose your preferred pay schedule.
3. Tap your preferred worker. Press the amount on the Salary column. Make the necessary adjustments to correct the Gross pay.
4. On the Pay method, select Paper check.
5. Preview payroll and submit.

For future reference, you can remove them from your active employee lists so you don't get billed from them anymore by updating their status.  

Moreover, you can generate a payroll report if you need to see a comprehensive overview of your company's payroll expenditures, encompassing worker wages, bonuses, taxes, and associated expenses.

Paying employees who quit is essential to comply with legal requirements, maintain the company's reputation, and ensure fairness, preventing potential disputes or additional costs. My goal is to ensure you get the help you need. I wish you nothing but success, lovek!
