Can I do a payroll adjustment to add in extra wages? If so, how is this done?

Hi fay4,

Running payroll with QuickBooks Online is a great way to keep your books organized. I'll be happy to point you towards the right direction so you can apply the payroll adjustment the best way possible. 

To ensure accuracy, I highly recommend contacting our payroll team as they can take a closer look at your account. One of our specialists will be happy to provide the support you need with making sure the adjustment is applied properly. Here's a link with the: QuickBooks Support Contact Details. 

Let me know if you have further questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be on standby. 

I needed to correct 4 prior period pay cheques.  To do so I had to delete all cheques created after those 4. I then ran payroll again to enter the 4 pay cheques that needed correcting as well as reentered all others that came after them.  All of that went smoothly.  However, somehow, a cheque for Jan 31 was created after one of the 4 incorrect cheques which had pay periods in Apr and May.  Now, when I try to run payroll again to reenter the Jan 31 cheque the pay periods available in the drop down list only start at Mar 1.  I thought a work around would be to do a payroll adjustment cheque for Jan 31.  How is this done?

Hello fay4,

Having proper payroll records is key to ensure accuracy in your payroll liabilities and payroll tax forms. It sounds like you have a cheque for January 31st under the wrong pay period. If that's the case, you'd need one of our payroll agents to directly assist you with this. They have secure tools to pull up your account and determine the best approach to get to the solution that you want. Whether it be editing the pay period at the back-end or adding the paycheque as part of the historical year-to-date amount, you can rest assured that we'll help you get back on track. Here's how to reach out.
