The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Laying off employee

i just recently had to shut down my bakery, due to COVID-19. I have 2 employees that now need to collect unemployment. what do i need to do on my end? do i just delete them from payroll? or do i not need to do anything because they will be coming back when we can re-open?

Hey there, @Bakerjulie1 - 

Thank you for reaching out! 

You have the option to stop running payroll, but still leave them active so you have them whenever you start up again. 

Also, I would suggest reaching out to our Payroll team directly to make sure you aren't getting charged. 

If you want to remove the employee's go to this Support Article to Remove Employees.
