Can I change the direct deposit split for a submitted paycheck? Should I delete the paycheck or is there a way to make that change?

Thanks for getting back to us, @billing44.

 

You'll need to void or delete the existing paycheck and make the changes to their direct deposit preferences before re-creating the paycheck. I've outlined the steps below for updating their preferences.

 

  1. Go to Employees then Employee Center in the top menu.
  2. Double-click the employee's name.
  3. Select the Payroll Info tab.
  4. Hit the Direct Deposit button.
  5. In the Direct Deposit window, click Use Direct Deposit for [employee's name].
  6. Choose whether to deposit the paycheck into one or two accounts.
  7. Enter the employee's financial institution information (Bank NameRouting No.Account No., and Account Type).
  8. If you chose to deposit to two accounts, enter the amount or percentage that the employee wants to deposit to the first account in the Amount to Deposit field. The remainder goes to the second account.
  9. Hit OK to save the information.
  10. Enter your direct deposit PIN when prompted.

 

Once you've updated this information, you can go ahead and re-create their paycheck. If you have any other questions for me, let me know. I'm here to ensure you get back to business.

Can I change the direct deposit split for a submitted paycheck? Should I delete the paycheck or is there a way to make that change?

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @billing44.

 

I'd like to ask a couple of questions to get a better understanding:

  • When did you process the payroll?
  • How long has the paycheck been submitted?
  • What type of Payroll subscription do you have?

If you can answer these questions for me, I'd be happy to assist you further!

 

In the meantime, I'd like to leave you with a Community Article that you may find useful: Void a Direct Deposit Paycheck. This article provides more details on what's best for the situation you might be facing. To note, the direct deposit scheduled to offload is exactly 5 PM Pacific Time two days before the paycheck date. If you need to make any changes to the direct deposit paycheck, you must void the payment you already sent before the offload schedule.

 

I'll keep an eye out for your response! Talk to you soon.

I submitted it this morning. The actual payroll date is 3-25-2020.

 

One employee has his direct deposit split into a savings and a checking account. A couple hours after I submitted he asked if it could all go into his checking account. So everything would stay the same on his check except for the DD account.

 

We have the Enhanced Payroll subscription.

 

Thanks!

I submitted payroll on QBO on Monday morning (it is Tuesday now) only to realize I had left off some payments to 3 employees.  How do I change these checks correctly before payroll hits the bank on Friday?  Please help.

Thank you for joining this Community thread, EJD1. I can imagine the urgency of rectifying the omitted payments before the payroll deadline, let's work together to find a solution.

 

Editing a direct deposit paycheck will depend on your processing time and payroll service. Here's a reference for more information: When to send your direct deposit payroll.

In your case, since you mentioned that you have submitted the payroll and the pay date is on Friday, we'll have to void the paycheck before the offload schedule and recreate it. To void:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select Paycheck list.
  3. Choose the paycheck(s) you'd like to void, then click on Void.
  4. Hit Yes.

If you can't make any changes, you'll see a message explaining why and you'll need to reach our Support Team for further assistance. Once you're done voiding the paycheck, recreate and make sure you include the all payments you left off then submit it again.


Alternatively, we can run an unscheduled payroll specifically for the payments that were inadvertently left off. This will allow you to quickly address the missing payments and ensure your employees receive their due compensation on time. It's important to communicate with your employees about this unscheduled payroll to keep them informed about the situation.
