How can I create a zero payslip?

Welcome to the Community, Viktoria!

 

Creating a zero payslip can be helpful in scenarios where you want to put an entire paycheck into a retirement  plan or designate an entire paycheck for income tax. May I know what is the reason why you need to generate a zero payslip?

 

To create one, you'll have to add an Other Earnings pay type to the employee's profile. Here's how. 

 

  1. From the Home dashboard, navigate to the Payroll icon at the top.
  2. Go the Employees menu and select the employee. 
  3. Under the Additional pay types section, add Other Earnings.
  4. Name it as Taxable Offset or create your own name and set the amount 0 or leave the field blank. 

     

Once done, set up workplace pensions

 

After the set up, run payroll. 

 

  1. Under the Employees page, click Run payroll.
  2. Select a pay schedule and Continue.
  3. Zero out the employee's regular pay or salary. Enter 0 for regular hours.
  4. Select the Taxable offset box, enter the amount. Make sure that the other pay types are 0.
  5. Adjust the Other earning amount as needed to get the 0.00 net pay amount. 
  6. Once the net pay is zero, click Save.
  7. Select Preview payroll, then Submit payroll.
  8. Then Close.
