how do I change an employee paycheck date that I just issued

There are two options to consider when editing the paycheck date in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), Hank.

 

If the paycheck is a direct deposit and has already been processed, or if it is a paper check, you'll need to contact our Payroll Support team for assistance. Please note that the pay dates will only be changed if you reprint the check.

 

On the other hand, if the direct deposit paycheck has been created but not yet processed, you can void/delete the paycheck and recreate it using the correct date.

To void/delete, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBOP account.
  2. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.

  4. Locate the paycheck and click the dropdown arrow under the Action column.

  5. Select Void/Delete, then click the Void Paycheck/Delete button to confirm.

Once done, you can now proceed to recreate the paychecks, changing the date from 7/15 to 7/10.
