It's nice to have you here on the Community page, @eat1.
You have to manually change the status of your employees to Not on Payroll since you'll not be running payroll on that period.
Here's how:
- Choose Employees from Workers.
- Tap on the employee's name under the Employees list.
- Under Employee details, hit on the pencil icon beside Employment.
- Select Not on Payroll under the Status drop-down.
- Click on Done and repeat the steps for the rest of your employees.

By the time you'll run payroll checks, change your employees' status back to Active.
