What to Do If a Client Is Not Running Payroll

When a client is not running payroll for a given period, it's important to ensure proper billing and recordkeeping procedures are followed. This article outlines the steps for verifying and handling client payroll that is not being processed.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Verify the Invoice Type

  • Check if the current record is a billing invoice.

  • If yes, determine if it should be processed as an "invoice-only payroll".

🔔 Important: Do not delete the payroll if it should be billed. Continue processing for billing purposes.

2. Check Monthly Charges

  • Review the client’s invoice for monthly charges (e.g., subscriptions, flat fees).

    • If monthly charges are present, proceed to process the payroll for billing.

3. No Payroll or Monthly Charges?

  • If the client is not running payroll and no monthly charges are present:

    • Create a ticket assigned to Monica.

    • In the ticket, request the payroll be deleted.

      Rename the payroll to begin with "DELETE" (e.g., DELETE - [Payroll Name]).
