I have paychecks with different hours for the last couple weeks, and I need to print them today! how do I enter and pay them without messing with the pay schedule?

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can process an off-cycle payroll, which allows you to create additional paychecks outside of your regular schedule, Brent.

This off-cycle payroll won't impact your regular payroll schedule. Your next scheduled payroll run will still process as usual.

Here's how we can run an off-cycle payroll:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select the Run Payroll option.
2. Choose your employees' pay schedule.
3. Review or select the Pay Period and Pay Date, ensuring it reflects the desired date for the checks.
4. If prompted, choose either Pay manually this period or Create new check.
   
5. Enter their hours worked, ensuring you accurately input all details, including pay rates and hours, for each employee.
6. Click Preview Payroll to review the details entered, including taxes.
   
7. Once everything looks correct, click Submit to finalize the off-cycle payroll.

Note: Ensure that your employees’ payment method in QuickBooks is set to Paper Check. If they’re set up for Direct Deposit, you’ll need to temporarily switch it to print paper checks.

After submitting the payroll, go to the Print Paycheck section to print the physical checks for your employees.
