Join nowHi there, @shumberthughes.
That's a great question! I can share some information about excluding an employee for a specific payroll period in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
If you don't want to include the employees that have zero hours for that payroll period, you can uncheck them on the Enter Payroll Information page. Here's how:
1. Go to Employees menu at the top and pick Pay Employees on the drop-down.
2. Choose whether Scheduled or Unscheduled Payroll.
3. On the Enter Payroll Information page, go to Employees column and uncheck those employees that have zero hours.
4. Click the Open Paycheck Detail tab to continue the process.
I also added some sample screenshots for your guide.
For your reference, you can also check out this article and scroll down to Run Payroll for more information: Get started with Payroll.
That's it! Let me know how it goes or if I can be of additional assistance in the comment section. I'm always here should you have any other concerns. Have a wonderful rest of the day.
