Hi there, Todd. I'd be glad to help you pay your employees right away.

 

What payroll service are you using? You can pause auto payroll for a pay period by paying your employee manually. Auto payroll will start again on your next pay run.

 

Here's how:

  1. Select Payroll, then Run Payroll.
  2. Select Pay manually this period on the employees you wish to pay manually.
  3. Enter the date, pay schedule, and edit any pay items for this payroll.
  4. Select Preview and then Submit.

 

If you need to make changes to your employees, refer to this link for the detailed steps: Manage your Auto Payroll.

 

If you're using a full-service payroll and don't see the option to run it manually, I'd recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support team. 

 

  1. Click the (?) Help icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard.
  2. Select Talk to a Human.
  3. Enter a short description of your concern and press Enter.
  4. Click I still need a human.
  5. Select Contact Us to connect with our live support.
  6. Choose Get a callback.

Keep me posted if you need further assistance working with your other payroll tasks. Stay safe and have a great rest of the day.
