Question

Can I delete weekly pay events when there are no employees in them? As I'm the only one on the payroll and I'm a closely held employee reporting quarterly.

I pay myself weekly but report quarterly, so the pay events are empty as there are no employees in them. It is still showing up as an unlodged pay event. So I was wondering if I can go ahead and delete these every week.

Hi bistec-marco-gma,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! Yes, you can delete an empty and unlodged pay event. Let me show you how to do this. 

 

  1. Go to Employees tab and then Pay Runs.
  2. Select a pay run.
  3. Select Delete Pay Run then select Delete 

 

Note: Once the pay run is deleted, it cannot be undone. Any related data cannot be recovered or restored. 

 

Furthermore, you can also check on your employee profile if quarterly STP reporting is selected for closely held employee. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to Employees, then select the closely held employee's name.
  2. Select Pay Run Defaults, then tick the Closely held employee box.
  3. Select Report employee on a quarterly basis as the reporting method.
  4. Select Save.
