A pay run can exist without any employees assigned. This can happen during onboarding or after you remove or terminate all employees.
When there are no employees, it highlights the tile in orange and displays a warning icon with the message No employees added to Payroll.
The system also explains that you must add at least one employee before you can process the pay run.
The Actions menu remains available, but the system limits the available options. You can still access:
View employee, which shows an empty state
Edit pay group
Pay run calendar
Delete pay run
View all pay runs, if terminated employees are linked to the run
Once you add employees to the pay group, the system removes the warning state. All standard actions become available, and you can process the pay run as normal.
