Can you correct a previous payroll category? I accidentally put holiday instead of vacation. Too late to delete paycheck

Yes, you can correct a payroll category, ALM555. I'm here to walk you through the process.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu.
2. Select Employees.
3. Locate the name of your employee, then click to open.
4. On the How much do you pay [Name of the employee] section, click the pencil icon.
5. Place a checkmark in the Vacation Pay checkbox and then enter the necessary information.
6. Click OK, then Done.
7. After that, click Done again.

Please note that when you create paychecks, these pay types will appear in the menu. All you need to do is select them.

I recommend checking out this article that will guide you in paying your employee: Create Paychecks in Online Payroll.

I'm also adding this article to know more about the supported pay types in QuickBooks Online: Supported Pay Types and Deductions.

Additionally, I encourage you to visit this article to help you track your business finances: Run Payroll Reports.
