Hi fruitfetish-au-g,
The start date on your pay run is based on your pay schedule set up and from the last pay run finalised in QuickBooks Online Payroll. You can adjust the start date of the pay run by adjusting the period end date.
Here's how:
- Go to Payroll, then select the Pay Runs.
- Open the pay run you wish to adjust the pay period dates for.
- Click on Pay Run Actions, then Adjust Pay Period.
- In the adjust pay period dialog, select the new pay period ending and the you will see that the start date will auto adjust, and the date the pay run will be paid.
- Click Save.
