Hi - how do I manually pay (i.e., write a check) a new hire for one week? He started mid pay period. Then, next week, he'll be paid by DD with other EEs. thx!

Hello @lindak1119,

Let me walk you through the steps in writing a check for your new hire employee for their week's earned wages.

1. Go to the +New button.
2. Under VENDOR, select Check.
3. On the Payee field, select the employee in question.
4. Below the CATEGORY column select your payroll expense account.
5. Enter the amount of wages earned.
6. Click Save and close.

But if the payroll includes taxes, let's consider creating an unscheduled paycheck for the correct calculation of taxes.

In the same manner, here's an article you can read to learn more about creating an unscheduled payroll: How do I create a paycheck for an employee?

On top of that, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Help Articles for QuickBooks Online Payroll.

If you have any other questions, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.
