Paying a Fired/Laid-off Employee Immediately

Prev Next

This article covers paying a fired or laid-off employee for the current pay period.

To do this, you must have permission 93 (view the payroll tab) and 94 (review and process payroll).

For Customers Using CenPoint Payroll:

This is considered an out-of-cycle payment and will be taxed at a higher rate.

If you are not using CenPoint Payroll, go to  ‘CP Payroll → Review / Export Time’

If you are using CenPoint Payroll, go to ‘CP Payroll → Review Time / Process Payroll’.

Select the correct employee from the ‘User’ drop-down and set the ‘All Unpaid Through’ date to be the current date. This will grab all remaining unpaid time for the employee through the current date.

All of the unpaid time for that employee is now shown. To pay the employee, you first need to approve their time and correct any overtime rule violations. To approve their time, you can click the ‘Approve All Time’ button, or you can approve time on the field tickets or clock-in records individually. To correct overtime rule violations, you can click ‘Auto Add & Correct’, and then click ‘Current Tech’ under ‘Fix OT / Guaranteed Hours / Holidays, etc.’.

If you are using CenPoint Payroll, you can now click ‘Approve & Process’.

If you are not using CenPoint Payroll, you can now click ‘Export → For Current Tech’, and pick the appropriate export type.

If you are using Cenpoint Payroll, you will now see a warning that your ‘All Unpaid Through’ date is set to a day that does not match the pay week end in the branch settings. Click ‘User Fired / Laid Off, Pay Now’.

This will open up a secondary confirmation popup where you must confirm that the selected user has left the company. Check the box that says ‘I Understand’ and click ‘Pay Now and Deactivate’.

If everything ran successfully, the time records are now marked as paid, and have disappeared .
