Payroll

Good day. Halkern1,

Thank you for checking in with the QuickBooks Community. Yes, you can process additional payroll direct deposits after processing your regular payroll. You could do an unscheduled payroll to complete the other payroll deposit needed. Here's how:

1. Go the Employees tab then select the Payroll Center.

2. Under Create Paycheck, select Start Unscheduled Payroll.

3. Enter the necessary information such as the Check Date, Pay Period, and so forth.

4. Select the employee or employees and add the information as you would for regular payroll and complete the process.

The same requirements apply for the unscheduled payroll. The direct deposit would still take two business days to be deposited, and the cut off time to submit the payroll is 5:30 PM PST. 

I noticed you mentioned a termination check. Termination checks can be done at any time without a fee as long as it is a paper check. If a direct deposit is made, the same two business days apply.

If you made a mistake on your payroll and submitted it to Intuit on the same day before the time deadline, you can void and recreate those checks to correct that error. Here's how to void a check:

1. Go to the Employees tab and choose Edit /Void Paychecks.

2. Enter the date range and select the paycheck.

3. Click Void at the bottom of the screen.

4. Enter "Yes" in the window and choose Void again.

5. Once the check is voided, you will see VOID in the memo section of the paycheck.

6. Click Done to close the screen.

7. Go back to the Employees tab and select Send Payroll Data. In this window, you should see 0 paychecks for 0 dollars to send.

8. Select Send All, enter your PIN and click OK.

Once the check is voided, you can recreate the paycheck as usual.

In the event you need to stop a deposit that already is offloaded, Intuit can no longer stop the Direct Deposit. Even if you voided it and sent that void check to us, Intuit still will not be able to stop it.

I have recommended this article that explains in detail more about canceling a direct deposit paycheck. If you need any clarification or you've any concerns, please reach out to me. Keep me updated.

Hi Sasha,

Thanks for the quick reply. 

On the Create Paychecks screen, I only see "Start Scheduled Payroll." I don't see Unscheduled Payroll anywhere. 

I actually have Enhanced Payroll rather than Assisted Payroll. Maybe this is the reason?

Thank you for reaching out to me, halkern1. Usually, it doesn't matter which payroll subscription, you would be able to see the option for both. Another question that comes to mind is, are you using an accountant version?

If that's the case, it would explain why you wouldn't be able to see that Unscheduled Payroll option. Nonetheless, you can still accomplish what was needed by going to the Employees tab, selecting Payroll center then choosing Pay Employees. Again, reply if you have any other questions. Thank you!
