FAQs

Will pay stubs be automatically generated for all employees included in a pay cycle now?

No. Pay stubs will only generate for employees with any amount of hours or earnings recorded in the given pay cycle. For example, if an hourly employee is included in a pay cycle, but does not have any hours or other earnings in the pay cycle, a pay stub will not be generated for that employee.

Why do the pay stubs show as $0.00 net wages if the earnings are negative?

The pay stubs show $0.00 in net wages because the employee is neither being paid, nor having money taken away from them as a result of plugging in negative earnings in Namely Payroll.
