Run a first pay

4. Click Auto-calculate unpaid leave > Save:

5. Click Next

6. The employee’s gross pay has reduced by the amount of unpaid leave:

Using the above screenshot as an example, Ron’s weekly salary is $1,576.92. He works 5 days a week which means his daily pay is $315.38 ($1,576.92 / 5 days). In this first pay period he has worked 3 days. 3 days x $315.38 daily pay = $946.15 gross. $1,576.92 salary – $946.15 gross = $630.77 unpaid.
