I have resubscribed to quickbooks payroll after processing a few months in another payroll supplier. Quickbooks wants me to continue from when I left. How do I fix this?

Welcome back to your payroll service, ayrshire. I'm here to assist you in bypassing the prompt message and configuring your payroll data to pick up where you left off.

Since you previously used a different payroll system before returning, you may need to go through the setup again. You're required to input the wages you have paid your team since April 6th. Please know that once you add this data and run the first pay, you can no longer change it.

To start, gather the most recent payslip, P11 Working Deductions sheet, or FPS submission details for each employee to populate the pay history. These documents contain information to ensure accurate taxes and NI contributions.

After that, follow the steps below to enter how much you paid your employees this year:

1. Go to Payroll and then Overview. 
2. Select Start to Add your payroll history.
3. Click + Add employees and Enter information for those you haven't yet.
4. Tap Yes if you've paid them since April 6. 
5. Input the amounts in each column while ensuring the entries match the payslips or payroll reports for the year. 
6. Hit Save. 
7. Repeat the steps for each employee paid this year, then Done.

Once done, proceed to Step 3 on this guide if there's a need to rectify payroll items: Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Hi thanks for information. I have set up our employee as a new employee as advised and the current new pay runs are working fine from Week 14. I have a problem with the previous pay run which was due when moving to another payroll supplier. This now says overdue payroll and wants me to continue from Week 4? Is there a way I can stop this and refer to my new set up for future pay runs?
