I am running QB online basic payroll and want to change all my employees to a Monthly pay schedule f

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Community page, @Marchant Associates.

You can update your employees' pay schedule by going to the Pay schedule section of the employees' information.

Here's how:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account, then click on Employees at the left pane.
2. Select Employees next to Payroll.
3. Click the employee's name from the result.
4. Scroll down to the Pay schedule section and click on the pencil icon at the upper-right corner of the box.
5. Choose a schedule from there, or click on the Add a pay schedule button if you wish to add a new schedule.
6. Tap on the Save pay schedule button to record the changes.

Hi Angela

Thanks -but I have tried all that. The option to change an employee to a new schedule is Greyed out with a warning message saying that you cannot change to a new schedule once you have started paying them on a previous one !

The client paid all staff weekly throughout 2019/20, but has not run any weekly pay for 2020/21. 

The only solution I can see is to set up all the employees again, but attach them to the new Monthly schedule i have already created.

I will add a screenshot of the problem if that's ok ?

Cheers

Hi Ashleigh, thanks for getting back so quickly. 

I thought that might be the case, however I'm slightly reluctant to roll this out to my clients as it appears to be having some bad reviews in the forum at the moment...

What is the price for an upgrade this year please ?

Thanks

Hello Marchanet Associates, 

For advanced payroll, the price for it is 8 pounds plus vat a month plus 1 pound per employee.
