# Payroll auto-stops for terminations

> When a contractor or US employee is terminated, payroll now automatically stops after their last day of work. If their final day falls mid-pay period, their last paycheck is prorated.

Admins can also discontinue payroll without terminating the team member, which is useful for changing a person's pay schedule or switching contractors to direct payments.

Note: This change does not apply to international employees under the employer-of-record model.
