Hi there, Hope. I’m here to help you update your payroll pay date and ensure your employees receive their payments promptly.

 

If the payroll has been submitted but not yet processed, you can consider deleting the paycheck, then recreating it with the correct pay date. To do so, here's how:

 

  1. Go to the My Apps  in the left-hand pane, then select Payroll.
  2. Select the Employees tab.
  3. Choose your employee, then go to Paycheck List.
  4. Select the affected paycheck and click the dropdown arrow in the Action column.
  5. Select EditDelete, or Void Paycheck.
  6. Confirm your selected action and select Save.

 

Once done, create a new paycheck with the correct pay date. For guidance, please visit this article: Create and run your payroll.

 

If the payroll has already been processed and you cannot delete or void the paycheck, the quickest solution is to issue an advance payment today. Then, allow the original payroll to proceed as scheduled for Friday. Once the employee receives their paycheck, you can request that the advance amount be deducted from it.

 

If you have other concerns, please feel free to reply to this post.
