Remove a Pay Item in Process Payroll

Overview

Pay Items can be removed from an employee pay in Process Payroll and either marked as 'Pay Later' or 'Never Pay'. The option that you select will determine how the system will treat that pay item.

Please note that if a system-generated item (dark green) is deleted, it won’t reappear for payment the next time you access the Process Payroll screen.

Mark a Pay Item as Pay Later

Marking a pay item as Pay Later means that the item will be removed from the selected employee pay, but will reappear in a new pay for the same period. If you have marked a pay item as Pay Later and then recalculated the pay before adding it to a pay run, the item will reappear in the pay. 

To mark a pay item as Pay Later:

1. Go to Payroll > Process Payroll > Process Payroll.

2. Select the Pay Cycle or apply the relevant Report Settings filters.

3. Click the + icon next to an employee pay to expand the pay details.

4. Click the X next to a pay item to remove it from the pay.

5. In the Removal Options popup window, select Pay Later > Remove. 

Mark a Pay Item as Never Pay

Pay Items that are marked as Never Pay will be removed from the selected employee pay and will never reappear in Process Payroll. This means that the pay item cannot be paid and that recalculating the pay will not restore the item.

To mark a pay item as Never Pay:

1. Go to Payroll > Process Payroll > Process Payroll.

2. Select the Pay Cycle or apply the relevant Report Settings filters.

3. Click the + icon next to an employee pay to expand the pay details.

4. Click the X next to a pay item to remove it from the pay.

5. In the Removal Options popup window, select Never Pay > Remove.
