What to do if there are no employees to pay for a specific pay period?
If there are no employees to pay for a specific period, you can skip the pay run. Zoho Payroll does not require you to process payroll if there are no active employees or if no hours or compensation apply for that cycle.
This won’t affect your tax filings or payroll records.
To skip a payroll:
- Log in to you Zoho Payroll organization.
- Go to the Pay Runs module.
- Click View Details next to a payroll.
- In the Pay Runs Details page, click Skip Payroll at the top right.
INSIGHT If you don’t see the Skip Payroll option, it might be due to the existence of employees in this payroll. You’ll be able to see this option once you skip all the employees from the payroll.
