"How do I temporarily halt a person's pay?"
Sometimes, you may have a reason to temporarily halt a person's pay.
To turn on "Temporarily halt pay" for a person, and to see how it looks when paying payslips:
- First, select the person on: "Menu", then "People"
- Then tap: "Settings", then "Permissions"
- And turn on: "Temporarily halt pay"
- Then tap: Save
- Now that you've halted their pay, to see how it looks, select the pay batch on: "Menu", then "Pay batches"
- Then go to: "Pay", then "Pay now"
- You'll now see that the payslip row for the halted person is greyed out.
- You can still pay everyone else, but not the halted person.
- To remove the "Temporarily halt pay" restriction, tap the orange warning and turn it off.
- And finally, once you've turned it off, the orange warning goes away, and you can now include their payslip in: "Pay now"
Keep in mind that:
- Temporarily halting a person's pay can be useful if you're investigating a person's behaviour for serious misconduct, like fraud.
- Temporarily halting a person's pay doesn't block them in any other way. The person can still login, do timesheets, and everything else.
- Also keep in mind, that it may be illegal to not pay a person by the date their pay is due.
- You'll need to do your own research to decide whether it's legal for you to not pay a person by the date their pay is due.
