Pay runs

Hold an employee

Move one employee into a separate draft run so everyone else can be approved and paid now.

What this does

Hold takes one employee out of the run and puts them in a new draft run for the same period. The rest of the run can then be approved and paid.

Steps

  1. On Review and approve, find the employee.
  2. Choose Hold.
  3. Confirm "Hold {name} back?". Their hours and earnings move with them.
  4. Approve the original run.
  5. Later, choose Open held run to fix their pay. Calculate, approve and pay it as its own run.

The held run says "Held from the run paid {date}".

When to use it

  • The app refused to calculate the employee.
  • A record is wrong and you need more time to correct it.
  • You do not want a warning to delay the whole group.

Good to know

  • A held employee shows on the dashboard's runs card until the held run is paid.
  • The held run keeps the kind of the source: regular, or off-cycle, bonus, final or correction.
  • The employee is paid from the held run, so remember to pay it.
  • Approval of a run is refused while any line is not calculated. Hold is the way around that.
