payroll schedule change to monthly from weekly on standard payroll

It is a legal obligation to give an employee a p45 if one is generated.  And when I speak to my staff they don’t  this or want to be made a leaver as there time in service would go back to zero as they would  technically be a new employee this isn’t the correct way to do this at all.  It’s just a doggy work around as QB want to keep this simple and essential  task back so ppl pay for the advance package. 

And I will still have to do a nil  payrun for the un needed weekly pay schedule.  As ones you have paid any employee with a pay schedule you can’t delete it ?? Yet again this is ridiculous.  Iv sighed up to QB to save me time this will do the exact opposite

This does not work, you are not the first to point people here.

Once you run a payroll, you cannot edit it.  You get told this as soon as you try.

I too need an update on this, we are trying to change our pay schedule to align with our pension schedule, but would need to delete 30 payroll runs data to do this.  This can't be right?
