Running an empty payroll, with no employees needing to be paid

I have a client that just been upgraded from Standard to Core payroll. She does not draw a salary every month, so previously on Standard Payroll I have been running an 'empty' payroll for those months, i.e. unticking her as an employee, running the payroll with no employees to be paid and submitting the EPS to confirm the same to HMRC.

Now, under the new Core Payroll, I cannot see how to do this?

If I untick her, as before, I get an error message: "Select employees before you preview the payroll for them."

So I select her, but change the payment to be 'skip salary this time only', I get an error message: "You must either enter the hours worked or compensation amounts, or clear the checkbox to exclude employee from this payroll run."

So I clear the checkbox to exclude her as an employee and loop round the same process again!

What is the correct approach to indicate no employees need paying this period and allowing submission of the EPS?
