I need to run a payroll for a shortened pay period than my usual pay period. I don't see the option to run an "unscheduled" payroll like I used to in Quickbooks desktop.

You have me to help you create unscheduled payroll, battlefield1.

 

When running an unscheduled payroll, you can manually select the pay period and enter the employee's earnings. Just a heads up, we can only create unscheduled checks for the current pay period.

 

Let me guide you with these steps:

 

  1. From the Payroll tab, select Employees.
  2. Select the Run payroll button.
  3. Locate the employee and then select the Create another check link.
  4. Enter the employee's compensation.
  5. Confirm the Pay Period and Pay date.
  6. Select Preview Payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
  7. Click Finish payroll.

 

I've also added these references for more information about payroll:
