What this does
A final pay is the last pay of someone who left. It pays salary to their last day and the vacation pay owed. When you approve it, the app makes a Record of Employment draft.
Before you start
Record the termination first. Open the employee, choose the Employment tab and choose Terminate. See The Employment tab.
Steps
- From the terminated employee's page, choose Start final pay. Or go to Pay Runs › New pay run and choose Final pay.
- Under "Who left?" pick the employee. The list shows the employee number and last day worked.
- The period is the one that holds the last day worked. Salary is prorated to that day and vacation pay owed is paid out.
- Choose Create run.
- Add any hours or amounts, such as pay in lieu of notice or a retiring allowance.
- Calculate, review, approve and pay.
- After approval, a message says an ROE draft was made, with the last day paid and the reason.
Good to know
- If nobody has a termination recorded, the list says "Nobody has a termination recorded."
- The vacation payout is the whole time-off ledger balance, for every year, plus the accrual of this pay. See Time off: final pay payout.
- Pay in lieu of notice and severance have their own earnings with their own tax treatment. Check them in the catalogue.
- Read-only users cannot start a final pay.
- The draft ROE is under Year-End › Records of Employment. See Records of Employment.
