Hi carolyn-arkaccou,
Setting up an automated pay run allows the system to do it automatically in the background. Also, you can choose what components on the pay run you want to be automated and what still requires a manual intervention.
Let me show you on how to set up a recurring or automated pay run in QuickBooks.
- Select Employees from the left hand menu.
- Select the Payroll Settings tab then select Pay Schedules (located under Pay Run Settings).
- Select the pay schedule you wish to automate.
- Under Pay Run Automation select Click here to configure.
- Complete the four-step process for setting up an automated pay run.
For more detailed information, you can check on this article: Setting up Automated Pay Runs.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be glad to help. Have a nice day!
