The steps depend on where the payroll run is right now.

If the payroll run is still open:

1. Go to Process.
2. Find the employee.
3. Select Process later.
   
   

If you already approved the employee first:

1. You won't see Process later yet you need to undo the approval first.
2. Select Reject for that employee.
   
   
   
3. Now Process later will show up. Select it.

If the payroll run is already closed:

1. You first need to reopen it. How to reopen a closed run.
2. Once it's reopened, follow the steps above (reject if needed, then select "Process later").
