What "Process as Nil" Does in Payroll
- When you select "Process as Nil" for an employee, that employee is taken out of the current payroll run.
- This tells the system the employee should not be paid wages for this specific pay period — not now, and not later either.
- No wages will be calculated for this employee.
- No pay slip will be created for this employee.
- Use this option when the employee did not work during this period and should not receive any pay for it.
Note: If the employee didn't work this period, but you think they might still need to be paid for it later, don't use "Process as Nil." Instead, choose "Process Later" — this keeps the option open to pay them for this period afterward.
