# How to Skip an Employee from Payroll
## This article describes how to skip employees for a specified amount of time or from a particular payroll.
**To skip an employee for a specified amount of time:**
1\. On the **“Menu,”** scroll down to “Compensation” and click on the arrow in front of “Payroll” to reveal the options.
2\. Click on **“Skip Employees.”**
3\. In the search bar, click on the little arrow to reveal the list of employees and select the employees you would like to skip.
4\. You will be required to set parameters on which these employees will be skipped. If the same parameters apply to all skipped employees, click on the check box that says “***Use the same setting for all selected employees***” and proceed to set the parameter for just the first employee on the list. Leave this box unchecked if the parameters for each employee are different and customize each employee based on their specific parameters.
