Hi Spaken, 


Thank you for reaching out on this. 


For the 2 weeks the employee is not working, you can exclude the employee from the pay run.


Excluding an employee from a pay run can be done using the following steps
1.    Open the pay run that you wish to exclude the employee from
2.    Click on the employee in the pay run to expand their pay run details. From the blue “Actions” menu, select “Exclude from pay run”
3.    The employee will now be excluded from the pay run


To add an employee that wouldn’t normally be included in the pay run, please follow the steps below:
1.    Create the pay run that you’d like the employee to be included in
2.    Once the pay run is created, click the "Pay Run Actions" ->  “Add Employees” button from the pay run actions bar:
3.    Type the name of the employee you’d like to add:
4.    You will then be presented with the reason why this employee wasn’t originally included in the pay run. If you’re happy to proceed with adding this employee to the pay run, click “Add Employee”
5.    The employee is now added to the pay run


Thank you and please let us know if you require any additional assistance.
