Hi kathrynmonk-hotm,
Thanks for posting in the Community.
You can skip the pay run if no employees worked or paid for that pay period. You can follow these steps on how you can adjust the pay period dates on the next pay run if you have an employee paid.
- 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 date the pay run will be paid.
- Click Save.
- If the dates are valid, the pay period will be updated.
For more information, you can check on this article: Set up and process a pay run in QuickBooks Payroll powered by KeyPay.
