How do I establish my payroll pay period in quickbooks online?

Good morning, @dee89. 

I'm happy to lend a hand with your payroll schedule. 

To set up, assign, or update a pay schedule, check out the steps I've included below:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Employment details, select Start or Edit.
4. From the Pay schedule dropdown, choose the pay schedule for the employee moving forward. Or, to create a new pay schedule, select + Add pay schedule.
5. Fill out the appropriate fields. Then click on Save.
6. When you're done, hit Save.

Please note: If you want to edit the pay period, you must select or enter the correct pay period ending.

If you still have issues with your pay period, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. This way, one of our payroll agents can review your current schedule and make any necessary adjustments. 

Also, feel free to check out Set up and manage pay schedules for additional information about this process. 

I'm only a reply away should you have any questions or concerns. Take care!

Ok, so what I needed to do, was change the payroll period.  The "Every other week" had the wrong ending date.  I added "Every other Friday", and put the correct ending date.  That should work!?!
