Can I terminate an employee without pay?

We do not have an option to terminate an employee without pay. We have a workaround for this.

In case you want to terminate an employee without paying them,

• Go to the Employees module from the left sidebar.
• Select the employee you want to terminate.

• Click More and select Terminate Employee. You will be taken to a page where you need to provide:

  • Last Working Day
  • Reason for Termination
  • Final Settlement Date - Decide the date on which you want to make the payment.
  • Contact Email Address - Form 16 and the final payslip will be sent to this email.
  • Notes (if any)

• Click Proceed.

You will be taken to a Termination Payroll page where you need to:

• Enter 0 as the payable days.
• Enter 0 for all the other deductions.

• Under Notes, enter the reason for terminating the employee without pay.
• Click Save and Continue.
• Click Submit and Approve to approve the termination pay run.
• Click Record Payment and select the employee’s last working day as the paid date.
• Click Confirm.

You need not pay the employee’s full and final settlement.
