How can I run payroll today?

Hello there, @dolapo.

Thank you for posting here in the Community. Let me assist you with your payroll concern in QuickBooks Online.

For a missed payroll, I recommend creating unscheduled checks. QuickBooks allows you to enter them for the current pay period back to pay periods dating six months ago. 

Here's how:

1. On the left panel, click Workers, and select the Let's go or Run payroll button.
2. Choose the employee's pay schedule and click Continue.
3. In the Run payroll page, select the Bank account, Pay period and Pay date.
4. Enter the employee's pay information.
5. Click Preview payroll.Make sure to review the employee's pay and then click Submit payroll.
6. Select Finish payroll once done.

Additionally, I recommend visiting the following article to learn more about paying payroll taxes in QuickBooks: Pay payroll taxes electronically or manually.

Please let me know if you need anything else. The Community and I will be here to help you.

You can switch your employees to paper checks. If you don't have checks, make separate withdrawals from your bank so you know what each is for. You'll be able to see their net amount on the payroll preview.
