Remove a Job from Payroll

Use the Remove Job from Payroll command to temporarily remove individual jobs from payroll.

This feature is designed for the payroll user who needs to finish a register and create checks, but does not have the need or the permission to edit jobs in Manage Employees.

What does removing a job do?

Changes its status from Submitted to Available.
Makes the job unavailable for payment on payroll registers until you decide to submit it back into payroll. Note: You can submit a job back into payroll without having to remove the employee from payroll.
Encumbrances are not affected.
Jobs removed from payroll cannot be modified in Manage Employees.

If a job has been active in a payroll but needs to be removed and encumbrances need to be released, the employee record must first be removed from payroll and then the job must be closed. See Remove an Employee from Payroll and Close a Job.

Payroll encumbrance & removing jobs from payroll

If payroll is being encumbered, you have the option to edit the transaction date for the encumbrance transaction. If you want to be able to edit the transaction date, you must set the Payroll Configuration value, Allow Editing of Payroll Encumbrance Transaction Date When Submitting and Removing Jobs From Payroll, to Yes.

Payroll registers in various states

Removing a job from payroll:

Prevents the job from appearing on future payroll registers.
Will not delete a job from a New register that already contains it. If the job is on a new payroll register, open the payroll register and remove the job from the register.
