An employee didn't complete the whole pay period, can I create a payslip just for the actual period worked?

Yes! This is in fact the correct way to do it. You can create a single payslip for just the employee from the payroll tab in the employee profile and just select the actual to and from dates. Our system is flexible, and you aren't confined to any set periods. This is also why there's no period rollovers.
