Thank you for posting here in the Community, @warefarms. I'll ensure to provide a solution about skipping pay for more employees who didn't work for a specific period.

 

If an employee didn't work during a particular pay period, you can omit issuing a check for that period. Update the pay period end and the check date. No taxes need to be reported for that period, as no employee wages were recorded, and no payment will be processed. This approach ensures that the employee's pay accurately reflects their actual working hours.

 

Here's how to edit the pay period, you must select or enter the correct pay period ending.

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Pick your employee.
  3. From Employment details, select Start or Edit.
  4. From the Pay Schedule dropdown, select the pay schedule for the employee moving forward. Or, to create a new pay schedule, select + Add pay schedule.
  5. Fill out the appropriate fields. Then select Save.
  6. Once done, choose Save.

 

I'm also adding this article for additional information: Set up and manage payroll schedules.

 

With that information, you can edit, delete, or void your employee's paychecks. If you have more questions about running payroll, I'll be around to answer them. Happy New Year!
