Allow clients to submit for processing when employees have negative net pay

Sometimes payroll submissions are missed as clients cannot submit the payroll for processing when an employee has negative net pay. If we could allow clients to submit for processing but not allow us to submit for approval with negative net pays this would be helpful.

    Hi, given your comment below Izzy, will anything be done on this topic? The second part of the comment on this idea is the most important for us "allow clients to submit for processing but not allow us to submit for approval with negative net pays" - we have ticked the option you mentioned below so that clients can submit with negatives but the downside of this is that by activating the setting, the payroll line stops highlighting in red and then it is not easy to identify when scanning the payroll that there is a negative payslip. We have had situations recently where negative payslips have been produced as a result because loans have deducted the set period amount and taken the payroll into a negative. I have attached an example from last week to illustrate. Would be great to simply allow clients to submit with negatives rather than having to allow negative pay in general and losing all benefits of having it unticked.

    Hey Elle - we have an option within 'Settings > Edit details > Default Pay Options > Allow Negative Net Pay.
