# Delete an Off-Cycle Pay Run

Off-Cycle Pay Runs are deleted from the [Payroll hub page.](/doc/docs/payroll-hub-overview) Payroll admins can delete an off-cycle pay run when it is created in error. This option ensures that accidental pay runs can be removed without needing to contact support.

## Security

Users must have the following permission(s) to create Off-Cycle Pay Runs.

- Payroll → R365 Payroll → Payments → Create Payments

These permissions can be added to [custom user roles](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/custom-user-roles) or [individual users](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/users-overview-and-security). The [Permission Access report](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/generating-a-permissions-access-report) can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see [User Setup and Security](/doc/docs/user-setup-security-and-location-access).
