Person employed on trial with a view to going permanent

We interviewed and offered a position to a person seeking full time employment. It was agreed that the first few days would be taster days to see if the person was suitable for the company and vice versa. Unfortunately it didn't work out and the individual did not come back following the two days. We are agreed to pay him for the two days and that would be an end to it. Does this need to go through our payroll? Thanks

Hi
If you paid them then yes this would need to go through payroll as it is employment income.
Thank you.
