Business had a fire and was closed a few weeks. What do I do for payroll when there were no employees working?

Good afternoon @dbradford, I'm sending best wishes to you and your business.

I have some steps that will help to get this problem fixed.

To manage your payroll schedule, you'll need to manually edit the dates to the next period.

Let me show you how:

1.  Click your Payroll Schedule under the Create Paychecks table.
2. Select the Payroll Schedule button at the bottom of the table.
3. Choose Edit Schedule. This will open the Edit  Payroll  Schedule window.
4. Change the date for What is the pay period end date and what date should appear on the paychecks for this pay period.
5. Click OK.

I have attached a video for you to follow.
