How to Skip/Exclude an Employee During a Pay Run

Sometimes you may need to skip an employee from a particular pay run - perhaps they're on unpaid leave, taking a sabbatical, or simply not scheduled to work that month. Don't worry, Metarelic People makes this process quick and easy!

When might you need to skip an employee?

There are several common scenarios where you might want to skip an employee during a pay run:

• Employee is on unpaid leave

• Part-time or casual employee with no hours worked that month

• Employee is taking a career break or sabbatical

• New employee who hasn't started yet but is already in the system

How to skip an employee

Follow these simple steps to skip an employee from your current pay run:

1. Go to Payroll > Run

2. Choose or generate your payrun

3. Identify the employee you want to skip on the Earnings screen (This is the first screen during the payrun)

4. Click the three dots option to the far right of the employee's row

5. Click on Skip from the dropdown menu

That's it! The employee will now be excluded from this pay run, and you can continue processing payments for your other team members.

What happens when you skip an employee?

When you skip an employee:

• They won't receive any payment for this pay run

• Their payslip won't be generated

• They won't appear in your payment reports for this period

• Their employee record remains active in your system

Need to include them again next time?

No worries! Skipping an employee only affects the current pay run. They'll automatically appear in your next pay run as usual, so you won't need to do anything special to include them again.
