It's great to hear that you're going to take advantage of QuickBooks Online Payroll direct deposit. It makes paying your employees so convenient. Sometimes you may still need to create a paper cheque or EFT even after you have your direct deposit set up, and you can still create these types of paycheques.

The steps for turning off the direct deposit for employees so that you can match the EFT in your bank feeds can be found in the "Ways to pay an employee."
