Process the employee's pay runs while on parental leave

When the employee is on paid parental leave, continue processing their pay runs as you normally would—but remove all hours and amounts. You'll also need to enter the Days being paid this period, which is the number of days they'd normally work. Take a look at this help topic if you need a refresher.

This means their pay will be for zero dollars.

Finish the pay run as normal (it's up to you if you want to print or email the pay slip).

The employee's annual leave will continue to accrue. You can check their leave balance on the Leave tab of the employee's record (Payroll menu > Employees > click the employee's name > Leave tab).
