In certain situations, you might want to execute payroll only for 1 employee for a particulat month. For example, this can happen when an employee salary is being processed earlier than usual, or there is an exit and the final settlment needs to be done right away.
To do this, please follow these instructions -
Go to Run Payroll, and select the payroll month if required.
Search for the employee for whom the payroll needs to be executed, and click on the "edit" button.
Click on "Skip all except this". This will pause all the other employees' salaries for the month.
Now you can finalize your payroll and request execution (if required).
Later, to resume salaries for all the skipped employees (from Step 3 above), click on the edit button for any one of the skipped employees, and then click on "resume all skipped".
