When an employee leaves your organisation, use **End Employment** to set their final working day, choose when to pay them, and create a **Final Settlement Payroll** for their last pay.

**Warning:** Ending employment updates the employee’s status for payroll. Complete final pay carefully before you approve the Final Settlement Payroll.

## Start End Employment

1.  Go to **Employees**.
2.  Open the employee who is leaving.
3.  Click **End Employment**.

## Record Final Pay Details

Zoho Payroll opens **Final pay details** for the employee. Review the pay period, pay date, and final working day, then enter any hours and additional earnings for the final pay.

Typical additional earnings can include:

**Item**

**When you might use it**

**Bonus** or **Commission**

Final bonus or commission due.

**Pay in Lieu of Notice (PILON)**

Pay instead of working the notice period.

**Statutory Redundancy Pay**

Redundancy pay that applies to the leaving.

Click **Save and Continue** when the figures are ready. Zoho Payroll opens the **Final Settlement Payroll** for that employee so you can review and process it straight away. You do not need to go to Pay Runs first.

If something needs changing before you approve, click **Edit** and update the final pay details.

![Edit option on a Final Settlement Payroll](/payroll/help/uk/employees/end-employment/final-pay-edit.png)

If you do not want to process it immediately, leave the draft and return later from **Pay Runs**.

For how to approve the pay run, submit the FPS to HMRC, and record payment, refer to [Final Settlement Payroll](/uk/payroll/help/employer/pay-runs/final-settlement-payroll.html).

After the Final Settlement Payroll is paid, the employee appears under **Former Employees** in the Employees list.
