Employee status: inactive and suspended

Please I have an urgent question as am about payrolling:

When an employee status is set as INACTIVE or SUSPENDED, will that employee appear while payrolling?

I have some employees I don’t want to pay this month, and I have set their status as Inactive, then some are suspended. I hope they won’t appear when I run a payroll entry?

This is pretty easy to test. In my experience, no, they won’t appear, but why not just create a payroll entry and fetch employees to check?
