How to make sure I am not getting billed for my extra employees?

I am in farming industry and have few months where I do not have business. I currently have 30 employees and the business is at peak season. From March on wards, we get to see decline in business and will only need 10 employees. I am on plus subscription which gives me 10 free active employees. Is there a way that I can make an employee inactive for no peak period of business without terminating them and then make them active in peak season?

There are two ways to make sure that you are not going to be billed for having extra employees for payroll.

A. Do not create a pay run
– Even if the employee is not terminated you will not be charged if you are not creating any pay run for that extra employee. Employee is only considered as active for billing in the system if there are pay run’s created for the employee in a particular month. If you do not want to terminate the employee then stay with option A however you can also do option B as shown below.

B. Terminating an employee within the Employee File - This will make the employee inactive which will automatically exclude them from future pay runs.

1. Click on the employee name.
2. Click on Details.
3. Scroll down the bottom and click on the Terminate Employee button.

Note: You can reactivate the employee by going to the same area and clicking on the Re-activate Employee button then press Activate.
