Irregular Payments

How to use the Exclude Employee option to make irregular employee payments in Sage Payroll.

If you have an employee who works irregular times, you won't pay them on a regular basis. For example:

• A student working during their holidays
• A supply teacher or other individual employed ‘as and when required’
• A regular employee who is taking unpaid leave

If you don't want to pay an employee in a particular period

1. Select Summary from the menu bar.
2. Select Process Pay Run.
3. Process until the PAY window.
4. Select the relevant employee.
5. Tick the Exclude Employee box.

Next steps

Selecting the Exclude Employee flag triggers the ‘Irregular Employment Payment Pattern Indicator’. When the pay run ais complete and the FPS is submitted, the HMRC will see the employee is still employed, but not due pay that period.

They will remain excluded until you untick the box.
