I run my payroll on Fridays and wasn't able to this week and just ran it today (Saturday) ... now it is showing next weeks pay period. How do I correct it?

Greetings, Reeyn. It's my pleasure to guide you in adjusting your pay period in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP). This will ensure that you can accurately issue paychecks to your employees.


In QBO, the option to directly correct the pay period is unavailable. However, if you've manually created the paychecks, you can delete and recreate them.


Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Workers menu, then select Employees.
  2. Under Run Payroll, choose Paycheck List.
  3. Adjust the date range and select the paychecks you wish to delete.
  4. Click Delete and mark the checkbox to confirm the deletion.
  5. Then, select Delete Paycheck.

 

Once deleted, you can recreate the paycheck with the correct pay period and input all the necessary information accurately.


On the other hand, if you processed the paycheck via direct deposit, you'll need to reach out to our Payroll Support team. They have the specific tools necessary to help you correct the pay period for the paycheck.


Additionally, take a look at this article that provides information on setting up additional pay items in QBO: Add or change pay types.


I'll also add this resource to learn more about how to run, print, and customize your payroll reports: Run Payroll reports.


These steps should help you run your paychecks seamlessly. Please click the Reply button if there's anything else I can further help you with, Reeyn. I'll be more than willing to get back into this thread and provide additional assistance.
