Change payroll schedule

I just ran my first payroll today to get everyone up to date for October. How do I now change the regular pay date to 6th of each month, starting 6th November, which is the correct regular pay date?

 

The edit option under Accounts & Settings > Payroll has gone?

Thanks, but constantly deleting the pay periods is not really a practical solution as I assume it will then delete all those previously entered payroll transactions from the P11/P32 reports etc? They certainly disappear from the payroll history screen, which is no good at all.

What I need is a payroll product that matches the functionality of QB desktop - which I have been using for the last 12 years - can PaySuite do that? I really need to able to run irregular pay runs in addition to the main payroll schedule.

It's rather disappointing to be constantly implored to switch from QB Desktop to Online, only to find the functionality of QB Online is so lacking compared to the desktop product!


Hi rjwbailey,

 

I agree that deleting the pay periods every time is not ideal. I would therefore recommend you to switch to PaySuite, as this will allow you to run more than one payroll at a time. I am not familiar with the Desktop payroll to compare, however PaySuite is the best option for anyone wanting to run multiple payrolls.

 

Thanks, Carly. :)

Hello

 

Can I just ask which payroll you are using?

 

If you click on employees on the left hand side if you are using Paysuite it will have powered by Paysuite in the top right otherwise it will be our Quickbooks Online Payroll

I totally agree with you. The functionality of payroll online is awful. I feel totally out of control when using it and frustrated that it is so limiting in what I can do. I had been using the HMRC Basic Payroll very happily for over 10 years and the only reason I started using QB was because I had more than 15 employees so had no choice in using another payroll system. I feel there is a ploy to make users migrate over to Paysuite, thus increasing costs for the employer, because basic functionality just isn't there in Payroll Online.

Hi KidsZone

 

We do offer an advanced payroll, QBOAP, which is very comprehensive however it would require you to switch from Paysuite and set up the payroll from the beginning. If this interest you, you can contact our Live Support team through this link,
