an employee is leaving our business. How do I pay them what's owing in their last pay?

Hi there, Catherine52,

To process an employee’s final pay, we’ll start by completing a regular pay run and then handling their termination.

To do so, here's how:

1. Select New Pay Run.
2. Fill out the required fields, then click Create.
3. Select the employee you wish to terminate.
4. Click the Actions button, then Terminate Employee.
5. Enter the employee's Termination Date, then click Save.

Once completed, the employee's record will turn pink, displaying their calculated earnings and accrued leave, which will be included in their final pay.

For further details, you can refer to this article: Terminate an Employee from within QuickBooks Online.

Lastly, ensure the pay run is successfully lodged with the ATO for this financial year. After lodging, tick the Is Final checkbox to confirm no further payments will be made for this employee.

Feel free to comment below if you have other questions or concerns. We'll be glad to help you.
