Can I Stop Payroll entries with ZERO values for PAYE and NI (both EE & ER)? I have a lot of hourly paid labour who are never going to reach the £12K for tax or pay NI.

Yes, you can, @juliancalverley.

Thanks for sharing your concern with us. Allow me to provide some steps to stop these entries.

If you’re referring to a payroll journal entry that automatically generated in the system after running payroll, you can manually remove it. 

You can delete the line items that have zero figures by hand in every journal entries. Since the setting to do it automatically is currently unavailable.

Here’s how:

1. Click on the Magnifying glass beside the Help menu.
2. Select on Advanced Search.
3. Select Journal Entries from the dropdown menu. 
4. You can filter journal entries or just leave the Filter field blank to view all.
5. Click on the Journal Entry under the type column to view details.
   
6. Select the Delete/Trash icon to remove the zero values.
   
7. Press Save once done.

I’ve attached screenshots here for your visual reference:
