Should I edit, delete, or void a paycheck?
- Edit a paycheck: This updates your paycheck info directly for the payroll. You can edit paychecks if you haven’t sent your payroll to us yet.
- Delete a paycheck: This removes the paycheck from your payroll. You can delete paychecks if you haven't sent your payroll to us yet.
- Void a paycheck: This changes your paycheck dollar amount to zero. You may need to make adjustments to balance your books. This doesn't stop a direct deposit from processing and doesn't return funds to you. Tax amounts collected through Automated Tax Withdrawal will apply to future payrolls. You can void paychecks if you already sent your payroll to us.
Edit, delete, or void paychecks
Depending on your processing time and payroll service, you may be able to edit, delete or void a paycheck.
