How to Manage the “Allow Payroll Generate” Flag

Overview
The Allow Payroll Generate toggle determines whether an employee will be included when you next Generate Payroll. Managing this flag in bulk ensures you only pay those who should be paid.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. In HR → Payroll → Employee Salary, locate the Allow Payroll Generate column.

2. To change a single employee, click the dropdown in their row and select Yes or No.

3. To change in bulk:

   • Filter your list (e.g. Department = “Sales”).

   • Select all rows, click Edit Selected, and set Allow Payroll Generate to Yes or No.

4. Click Update to apply across all.

Tips

• Mark “No” for employees on unpaid leave or recently terminated to avoid over‑payment.

• Use a saved filter view (via the funnel icon) for common groups you toggle frequently (e.g. Contractors).

Troubleshooting & FAQs

• Payroll run still includes someone marked “No”

  • Confirm the change was saved and that you generated payroll after the change (the setting only applies to subsequent runs).

• I can’t toggle for certain employees

  • Ensure they have a valid salary profile; if no salary was ever added, the flag can’t be set.
