I do payroll weekly; we were closed last week. How do I delete the "overdue payroll" reminder/error in payroll and have payroll dates move forward to next week's dates?

What if you only want to edit the payroll for one employee not everyone. how would you do that?

What if you want to only skip 1 week of  payroll for one person in a two week pay period?  

Thanks for joining us, ReboundPT.

You can definitely unselect a specific employee when running a scheduled payroll in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Let me show you how:

1. Go to Employees and Payroll Center.
2. In the Pay Employees tab, highlight the payroll schedule and click on Start Scheduled Payroll.
3. Uncheck the employee's name and continue to run payroll.

For visual reference, I've attached some screenshots below.

I'm linking some of our great resources about payroll in QBDT:

• QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Year End Checklist
• Payroll 101

Let’s me know if you need anything else. I’m always glad to help. Have a wonderful day!

I have a similar situation here , BUT I’ve processed the payroll cycle earlier than scheduled as I was out of town. The payroll cycle I’ve processed (or supposedly processed) did not get processed after all now looking back. How do I manually process the skipped payroll? 

I can show you how to skip that payroll schedule, @Pheeps.

You can simply edit your scheduled payroll date in case it is showing the overdue status. You can do it from the Pay Employees tab.

Let me show you how:

1. Click the Employees menu at the top and choose Payroll Center.
2. In the Pay Employees tab, highlight the specific payroll schedule.
3. Click the drop-down arrow in the Payroll Schedules and choose Edit Schedule.
4. Update the dates of your pay period end date and paycheck date to the future date.
5. Click OK once you're done.

That should remove the overdue status of your payroll. You can also use the schedule that you created to avoid an overdue status. The system will keep you notified every time you miss using it.

You can check this article for more information on how to set up and manage payroll schedules.
